EDIT: as Lakers. As players overall, Troy was better than Josh

His time on the court was limited, but I was impressed with Kostas' handle and aggressiveness. Good contests on defense, mobile, attached closeouts and took credible shots at the rim.

Super small sample, but he looked good.

He kind of had a little euro-step in there? Can't believe I'm a little excited about a J Kidd + Phil Handy combo for Kostas.

Not sure there's anything else he could have done realistically. He looked lively, disruptive and willing to shoot the ball. Time will tell us more.

Man there is so much untapped potential in this kid.

I wonder if Handy can get him to pop.

Nice patrolling of the paint tonight. 5 blocks in 27 minutes. Can't wait to see what he will bring over the next year. Hopefully he puts it all together and makes the big team next year.

I'd really like to keep him long-term. He could be an athletic center like Javale. All he needs to do is clog up the lanes, rebound, and swat some shots. If one of Javale or Dwight goes down, he's a good insurance policy.

It's nice to have someone who can come in and play back up center I thought we didn't have anyone this year

His best bet remains to work on a 3 point shot and be a third string small ball stretch 5. Would be getting serious minutes in some situations.

Wonder if he will realize this. If we develop him right and bring him along over 2years, Giannis will notice

Kostas Antetokounmpo has put up some nice numbers in the opening 2 games of the G-League season.

He's currently averaging 22 pts on 73.7% FG, along with 8.5 reb, 1.5 ast, 1.5 stl & 1.5 blk.

This could be a big season for the 21-year-old

Kid's playing well.

I would give this guy a chance since he shows a lot of great promise. He almost has the same measurements as his older brother.

If Kuz doesn't pan out, I'd have this guy as his replacement. Just get him a shooting coach now and have him do hundreds of 3's a day

Measured 6’10.5 in shoes with a tremendous 7’2.25 wingspan and a lean 195-pound frame prior to his freshman year last fall. Has impressive height and length, but will need to make significant strides adding muscle to his frame in the coming years to reach his physical potential. Long strider with impressive leaping ability. Could potentially play several roles depending on how his body and game evolve.

Basically almost the same as his older brother. We have the second coming of the Greek Freak

Giannis’ wingspan and reach since he grew aren’t recorded

Lakers slyly doing recruiting/and or psychology
calling up Kostas before the Bucks game is like a "hey Giannis, we are taking care of your brother"

or psychology says, Giannis is feeling calm as he spends time with his bros and is less focused on the Lakers matchup
