Former New York Knicks small forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo has agreed to play in Spain as he signed with Club Andorra S.A. as reported by Sportando.
The older brother of the “Greek Freak” Giannis Antetokounmpo, spent last season playing mostly for Westchester off the D-League before signing a 10-day contract with the Knicks, appearing in two games.
The 24-year-old did not make a huge impact in the U.S. and even if he averaged 12.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in the D-League, it was in a reserve role. He is considered a raw talent with a lot of upside especially because like his brother, he has the length and height to defend the two and three position.
Now that he has a chance to showcase his talent in one of the better leagues in Europe, he will definitely look to resurrect his career in the hopes of making it to the NBA once again.
If he polishes his game by being a better defender and developing a decent mid-range game, he'll be generating a lot of interest from scouts sooner rather than later.
