CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Dayton redshirt freshman Kostas Antetokounmpo, the 20-year-old brother of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, impressed NBA scouts with his long-term potential this past weekend at the Charleston Classic. He may not be the second coming of his 22-year-old MVP-candidate brother, but Kostas is an intriguing NBA prospect in his own right.
With the first four games of his college career now under his belt, we dive into Kostas' background, strengths, weaknesses and outlook as a prospect.

I would tend to agree with most of that article. He is showing great potential and clearly has an instinct on D that you can't teach.
If he can spend a couple of years adding muscle, improving his athleticism, and finding an offensive identity I think he is a first round talent.

There isn't anything all that surprising in there. It's everything we have been talking about for months, and even more so over the last couple of weeks. He's raw, flashes huge potential, but has a few years of work to get there. Scouts in Charleston were apparently impressed.

Long article that breaks down his game on both ends of the court and NBA potential. Conclusion:
"His defensive versatility is a perfect fit in modern basketball, and the incredible development of Giannis won't escape the minds of executives when analyzing the 20-year-old Antetokounmpo. He needs a few years to develop, but through his first four NCAA games he without a doubt looks the part of a future NBA player."
