Ever since Michael Carter-Williams has been lost for the season and the Bucks realistic playoff hopes have been dashed, Jason Kidd has been experimenting with 6’11” physical specimen Giannis Antetokounmpo at point guard and early returns have been promising.
That apparently has motivated Kidd to assert that the Greek Freak will be the Bucks point guard heading into next season (Sorry MCW).

Antetokounmpo has averaged 19 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists during the month of March and has four triple-doubles since February 22.
This is an outside the box move and it is crazy to think we live in a world where a 6’11” man would possess the speed, ball handling skills, vision, quickness and play making ability to play point guard at the NBA level, but that day has arrived and the Greek Freak is the never before seen specimen that can do it.
I think this is a smart move by the Bucks in today’s NBA climate. If they follow through with it and they should find another scoring sharp shooting wing to match the kind of small ball lineup of Antetokounmpo, Middleton, Parker at the four and Monroe. Or they could look for a more agile center that better fits their roster like Willie Cauley-Stein and terrorize the NBA with speed, length and switch-ability on defense.
It is becoming more and more apparent by the day that the Greek Freak may change the NBA and become one of its top superstars for the next decade.
