Milwaukee Bucks Pair Chris Paul With Giannis Antetokounmpo
Time is running out for the Milwaukee Bucks to do what they can to keep a two-time MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo before he reaches free agency. That sense of urgency will require creativity.
There weren’t many guards that made a greater impact than Chris Paul last season and he’s nearing the end of his career. What better match would there be than Paul helping the Bucks pull off a championship run for his first title and to keep Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee?
The potential fit for Paul and the Bucks would be seamless. He is an elite facilitator that can take control of the half-court offense in addition to being a high IQ defender and shot creator. When the game is in crunch-time, Paul can make something happen.
The Bucks already saw how impactful of a scorer Antetokounmpo can be as he ranked fifth in scoring average (29.5 PPG) last season. Imagine how dynamic he would become receiving passes in pick-and-roll situations from Paul? The potential is staggering…
With the incredible level of shooting the Bucks have accrued in recent years, the efficiency their half-court offense would achieve with Paul would be potentially historic. Having to worry about helping on Antetokounmpo in the paint along with Paul would overwhelm many defenses.
