The Antetokounmpo brothers recently became the first trio of brothers to become NBA Champions. Giannis and Thanasis won with the Milwaukee Bucks, while Kostas won last year with the Los Angeles Lakers.
But if that wasn't enough, now it seems like the youngest member of the Antetokounmpo household is also ready to take his talents to the best basketball tournament in the world, as Alex Antetokounmpo has declared for the NBA Draft.
And, even though no one's expected him to be as good as Giannis out of the gate, his older brother believes that he can be even better. So, will he be drafted? Who'll take a chance on the younger Antetokounmpo?
Alex Antetokounmpo NBA Draft Projection
Alex Antetokounpmo was a three-star recruit before heading overseas to play pro in Europe. He's a much better shooter than Giannis is and, albeit smaller (6'7'' with a 7'1'' wingspan compared to Giannis' 6'11'' and 7'4'' wingspan) he can still grow some more.
Alex has already worked out with the Indiana Pacers and is expected to be taken somewhere in the second round of the draft. Whether he'll join the NBA right away or decides to stay a little longer in Europe is yet to be seen.
"I definitely think Alex can be better than me," said Giannis several years ago. And, while scouts could doubt this statement judging by what they've seen, no one ever thought that Giannis would become the superstar he is nowadays.
Neither Kostas nor Thanasis were able to live up to the hype but Alex looks like a well-round prospect. If he adds as much muscle as his older brother and shares his work ethic, there's no doubt that he'll make an NBA roster, and who knows? Maybe he'll even become the 4th NBA champion in the family.
