Thanasis Antetokounmpo is playing his fourth season for the Bucks. The 30-year-old small forward gets limited playing time, yet he still remains in the league.
Gery Woelfel asked three people from the NBA whether Thanasis would be on any NBA team if his superstar brother Giannis wasn’t on that team.
An NBA player personnel director: “No,” he responded immediately.
An NBA scout: “Let me think about this for a few seconds. (He then pauses for about 10 seconds before answering). No.”
An NBA general manager: “Hey, we know what that’s all about. It’s all about appeasing Giannis. But to answer your question, no.”
This season Thanasis is averaging 0.7 point, 0.9 rebound and 0.2 assist in 4 minutes per game. He appeared in 35 games for Milwaukee.
