In an ESPN survey of NBA personnel, coaches in both conferences gushed over Milwaukee Bucks MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and his talents on both ends of the floor.
In fact, an Eastern Conference assistant coach claimed that the Greek Freak is the best “two-way player” in the league.
“He's the best two-way player. He gives it to you at both ends.”
Another coach was just as complimentary but envisioned an even better version of Antetokounmpo, claiming that his jump shot was going to be better eventually.
“Giannis is coming strong. I think he's gonna get that jump shot. He's going to be improved. I think he's that dude.”
The scary thing is that even without a consistent jumper, Antetokounmpo won the MVP award this year. It is almost inconceivable how good he would be if he developed a consistent 3-point shot.
With or without jump shot, the Bucks know that they have a cornerstone to build their franchise around. This offseason, the team focused on re-signing the key pieces that gave them the best record in the league last season and took them to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Assuming that Giannis does take a step forward and his supporting cast gives the same production as last year, the Bucks have a good shot of making the Finals. All eyes will be on Antetokounmpo as he attempts to top his best season yet.
