Analysis of the career of Alex, the fifth brother of Antetokounmpo

Use two words to summarize the career of the fifth brother of Antetokounmpo - wandering.

After graduating from high school in 2020, the fifth brother Antetokounmpo started his career.

It has been five years now. Not including the Bucks, Antetokounmpo's fifth brother has changed six teams.

And he has never established a firm foothold in a certain team, especially this past season, when he averaged no more than 17 minutes per game.

Has the 24-year-old Antetokounmpo’s fifth brother’s real strength reached the NBA level?

The editor is skeptical. An NBA-level player plays in small European leagues such as Greece and Montenegro and averages less than 5 points per game. This is difficult to convince. Moreover, Antetokounmpo's fifth brother is already 24 years old and is no longer a rookie player in the NBA. How much potential is there left to tap?

Zeng Fanbo is the starting small forward of the CBA championship team, averaging 14. points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. This performance is better than the performance of Antetokounmpo's fifth brother.

Although there is an NBA MVP brother, the editor thinks that Antetokounmpo’s fifth brother should not be a CBA foreign aid.

Regarding the signing of Giannis Antetokounmpo by the Bucks, I am afraid Zhang Zuolin's words tell the truth: "The world is not about fighting, it is about human relationships."

Everything depends on whether Antetokounmpo will stay. If Antetokounmpo is traded, the NBA career of Antetokounmpo's fifth brother will be in jeopardy. (Will other teams sign Antetokounmpo’s fifth brother? It’s hard to say)
