Power Forward

The Bucks have had a lot of good power forwards. Terry Cummings and Vin Baker would’ve fought for this spot, before last year anyway. But when Giannis Antetokounmpo played at power forward for much of the latter half of the 2016-17 NBA season, he took this spot.

Giannis may have been a small forward for longer in the regular season, but he clearly had shifted to power forward by the postseason. At 6’11” and looking stronger each and every year, Giannis should have no troubles getting big with other fours.

Waiting a year would probably give a better option, but for now we’re obviously going with 2016-16 Giannis. The Greek Freak averaged 22.9 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.9 blocks per game last season, while shooting 52.1 percent from the field.

Those numbers were put up while Giannis had to carry the team. Seeing his efficiency spike Giannis would have playing alongside the Big O, Ray Allen, and Marques Johnson is a truly tantalizing thought for Bucks fans. Giannis was unstoppable when teams could focus on him–how much better could he be if they had to worry more about his supporting cast, too?

Lineup so far: Oscar, Ray, Marques, Giannis
