Antetokounmpo to start at PG for Bucks next season

Giannis Antetokounmpo has four triple-doubles since Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd moved the 6-foot-11 small forward to point guard after the All-Star break.

Kidd says that he intends to make the change permanent.

"We're going to go forward with [Antetokounmpo] handling the ball," Kidd told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Tuesday. "You can call him point guard, point forward, point center."

Antetokounmpo has become the focal point of the Bucks' attack since an injury to Michael Carter-Williams spurred the move, and has averaged 18.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 7.3 rebounds per game since becoming the team's starting point guard.

"With him having the ball and the pressure he puts on the defense and this ability to find guys, it's been a plus for us," Kidd said.
