Antetokounmpo has been playing for the Milwaukee Bucks since 2013, after being selected by the team as the 15th overall pick in the very first round of the NBA draft. The ‘Greek Freak’ has brought nothing but performance to the Bucks, currently positioning the team in a cushy no. 6 in the Eastern Conference with 40 wins and 34 defeats on the season.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have not been doing too well this NBA season and are presently ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference after winning 25 games and losing 51 so far. In the ongoing NBA season, the Nets are led in offense by Cam Thomas who has a 24.0 point average, while Cameron Johnson is second in the list with an 18.8 point average on the season.
On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo boasts a much superior 30.2 point average per game in this NBA season, which will be fantastic for the Brooklyn Nets if he does indeed join the team. Antetokounmpo is leading the Milwaukee Bucks on the scoreboard, while Damian Lillard is doing his part with a 24.9-point average.
