Giannis brother Thanasis Antetokounmpo. He is a few years older and a few inches shorter (6'7 vs 6'9) but just like Giannis has a long wingspan, big hands, actually is more athletic, quicker and has a better jump shot. Yet in all mock drafts he is ranked to go in mid 2nd round.  I mean if Giannis was available for the 2014 draft, where would be picked??

I watched a few d league games watching him closely , and call me impressed. He is an excellent ball handler (though a little wild at times), flashy, swift and a really good rebounder for a sg/sf.  His game reminds me of Iguadala's. Just long, athletic, quick + skills.  I know its only the D league, but he is shooting the ball at an efficient rate, scored several 30 plus point games, lots of double doubles and several near triple doubles. Plays hard. Celtics should consider drafting him.  (could make it up by missing out on Giannis)
