While he has an unprecedented size for a point guard, Antetokounmpo has one of the best to play the position as a mentor in Kidd. The Bucks also brought in another legendary point guard, John Stockton, to work with Antetokounmpo and the team’s other point guards for a couple days this week.

“We were very lucky to have John to be able to spend a couple of days with us,” Kidd said. “I regard John as the greatest point guard to play the game. You couldn’t ask for a better person to learn from.”

Antetokounmpo’s new teammates are intrigued and excited at the prospect of playing alongside him.

“Giannis is just a special player,” said Michael Beasley, recently acquired from the Houston Rockets.

Jason Terry, a 17-year veteran, said Antetokounmpo’s versatility makes him a rare talent, comparing him with Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen.

“The only guy that has some semblance of Giannis is Scottie Pippen,” Terry said. “I mean, the way he defended, the way he could facilitate and play the point guard at that size is very similar. Another would be LeBron (James), but LeBron is more physically built. But Giannis is getting there. I know you’ve seen the muscles.
