He won't be listed at point guard, but Giannis Antetokounmpo is all but guaranteed to take on more ball-handling responsibility than ever before this coming season. It's a conclusion Milwaukee Bucks fans have come to amid the team's roster retooling, particularly with no clear-cut second option on the roster to fill the void left in Damian Lillard's absence.
While a role like that could be taxing for a player who already shoulders so much of the burden as one of the league's highest-scoring players and top defenders, Giannis seems eager. In an interview with Sport24, Giannis expressed his desire to take on a creator role, an underrated part of his game that he believes can bring the best out of his team.
