Golden State Warriors: Top 10 teams that could sign Kevin Durant
By Tony Pesta
8. Milwaukee Bucks
The sheer thought of watching Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo run together is enough to intrigue any basketball fan. Both of these stars are close to 7-feet tall and have enormous wingspans. Where Durant is more finesse, Giannis is brute strength and athleticism.
Durant can kill teams with a wide array of offensive moves. His skill-set ranges from crafty footwork in the post to pull-up 3-pointers. Meanwhile, Giannis is like a mutant on the court with his length and speed making him nearly impossible to stop in the open floor. Giannis currently has the third most dunks in the league at 152.
So far, Antetokounmpo has garnered some early MVP consideration. He is averaging 26.6 points, 12.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals a game. Giannis will become just the seventh player in NBA history to accomplish this stat line and would finish with the best field goal percentage of this group at 58.8 percent shooting from the floor.
Running alongside Antetokounmpo is a rag-tag group of skilled role players. Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez are deadeye 3-point shooters while Malcolm Brogdon and Eric Bledsoe are ready to attack and create plays at all times.
Adding Durant to this team would be incredible to watch as two of the best athletes in the world suit up next to each other. Their similar builds but contrasting styles would compliment each other very well. These two stars could create a legendary dynamic.
