Draymond Green recently shared his opinion on why he doesn't think Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best big power of this generation.
During occurrence Draymond Green Showask the Golden State Warriors forward if they agree with the idea that the Bucks are currently the top player in the position.
Green told Baron Davis: “I will not agree.” “The reason I disagree is. [during his career]. That's why I disagree with this.
“Because Giannis is one of the greatest players of the era and the game is a bit off the ball. What made people start calling Giannis a power forward is because you have to start throwing the big forward in the center [position] In Giannis [to guard him]. ”
Antetokounmpo is known for his rare mix of size, athleticism and kicking, which makes it difficult for him to classify by traditional position standards. Green admits how the Bucks tailor their strengths to their lineup, which could lead people to assume he plays four.
“The team you built around Giannis is because his skills are so good at driving and downhill that you do a lot of shooting around him,” Green said. “So when people are watching the game, they're like, 'Oh, Jereh Holiday must be this position, Chris Middleton has to be this position, and Brooke Lopez is five positions, 'Okay, so Giannis is a power forward.
“But if you look at great big balls. Giannis doesn't play like Tim Duncan; Giannis doesn't play like Kevin Garnett. So, I think people are lazy and don't understand what they're looking at, so they cover him up where the power forward. I just think that's accurate.”
