Milwaukee Bucks Star Giannis Antetokounmpo To Play Five Positions; Watch Out For His Much Improve 3

The Milwaukee Bucks perhaps have one of the most versatile team in the league today as they feature young players who can play multiple positions.

They feature a starting line-up of John Henson at center, Greg Monroe at power forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo at small forward, Khris Middleton at shooting guard and Michael Carter-Williams at point guard. Not to mention, they have Jabari Parker spearheading the bench.

But what makes this line-up special is the development of the Greek youngster, Antetokounmpo. According to Head Coach Jason Kidd, the growth of "The Greek Freak" has been simply unbelievable and he sees him as someone who can defend multiple positions, from point guard to center.

"He's 20 years old and he's going to play every position for us," Kidd said, per Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He never complains. He just goes out there and plays. I think he's showing he's confident in shooting the three. He's confident while he's on the floor and he's doing a lot of good things for us."

In fact, GM John Hammond announced that Giannis will even play some minutes at the center and power forward position. His otherworldly wingspan can easily anchor the defensive end but not only that, the youngster also said that teams should watch out for his much improved three-point shooting.

"I feel it's going to come," Antetokounmpo said, per Gardner. "In the middle of the season and the end of the season I'm going to be making them, and you (reporters) are going to be talking how Giannis has improved a lot. I've just got to stick with it."

Will there be a new contender out in the Eastern Conference? Will the Milwaukee Bucks give the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks a run for their money? Stay tuned.
