The Bucks have what appears to be a talented new player. That his name is hard to spell and pronounce just adds to the fun. Here’s Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A buzz is building about Milwaukee Bucks rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Already he is being compared to Nicolas Batum, Paul George and Kevin Durant.
Not bad for a skinny 18-year-old from Greece, a player who is getting his first taste of NBA action during the current exhibition season.
But wait a second.
Coach Larry Drew is not ready to commit to putting the 6-foot-9 youngster into the playing rotation when the regular season begins next week.
The Bucks may want to be cautious when it comes to a player they value so highly.
