In case anyone forgot how dominant Giannis Antetokounmpo is he reminded everyone this past Sunday posting a perfect 16 for 16 from the field.
What that All-Star performance also highlighted was the fact the Bucks don’t feel scary. Watching Giannis get fed dimes from LeBron, Luka (x3), Chris Paul (x4) and Jokic (x3) only served to highlight how a superstar with passing chops could push Milwaukee over the top. Either a big with passing talent or a veteran like Chris Paul or Kyle Lowry would make a huge difference.
Although Jrue Holiday is an exceptional talent if Jon Horst added another playmaker it could make all the difference to the Bucks who few teams in the East are scared of.
