Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Goes 20-6-5 in Wednesday's win

Antetokounmpo supplied 20 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 111-103 preseason win over the Pacers.

Analysis:

Antetokounmpo's transition to a full-time role at point guard began in the second half of last season and has gone swimmingly so far in the preseason, even with the 6-foot-11 wunderkind surpassing 30 minutes on just two occasions. Over his last five outings, Antetokounmpo is averaging on 16.2 points on an efficient 52.8 percent shooting to go with 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 block in 27.2 minutes per game. As expected, he's noticed a spike in turnovers and still hasn't proven himself as a threat beyond the arc, but the counting stats he's put up more than make up for those deficiencies.
