Sorry, I don't watch many Bucks games, so I am wondering: is Thanasis actually capable of playing at an NBA level or is he just there for Giannis to get a better than max contract? 1 point, .5 points, .5 assists in 5 minutes is not that impressive.

Giannis has said it helps him play better having his brother there so realistically even if having his brother there only makes Giannis play 1% better that’s still way more contribution to the team than your average 15th roster spot guy.
