Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is excited to play with his brother Thanasis next season.
The Bucks signed Thanasis to a two-year, fully-guaranteed veteran’s minimum contract last week, although the deal hasn't been made official yet. Giannis says his brother will “run through a wall” and that Bucks fans are going to love him.
“We’ve got three more roster spots, one of them they’re giving to my brother,” Giannis said, via Eric Nehm of The Athletic. “I don’t know if that’s official yet. I don’t know if I can talk about that. But if Thanasis would be on the team, it’d be amazing. He’s one of those guys that you can tell him run through a wall and he’ll run through a wall.
“Energy guy. Getting better, learned the game playing overseas. Think he can help bring toughness to the team, especially on defense. And as he improves and gets better as a shooter, he can help space the floor also.”
Thanasis Antetokounmpo has only played in two NBA games with the New York Knicks. He's 26-year-old, 6 foot 7 and around 205 pounds.
This is the first time Thanasis will have the security of a guaranteed contract. Add to the fact that he'll be with his brother Giannis, and Thanasis should be able to have success with the Bucks.
