Giannis Antetokounmpo is a beast in making. Reigning MVP was also on the course of winning his 2nd consecutive MVP when the NBA suspension happened. His skills whether offensively or defensively are completely unparalleled to any of the players in the NBA.

The Greek Freek has played 30.9 minutes per game this season and has averaged 29.6 points, 13.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and whooping 11.5 defensive rebounds per game. His field goal percentage stands at 54.7 and free throw at 63.3. All these stats just back the motion of Giannis being the next big face of the NBA.

But amid all these stats, there is one thing which completely lacks in Giannis’ arsenal i.e ability to shoot from 3 point parameter. His 3 point percentage which has drastically changed from the previous year now stands at 30.6 in this season with his career 3 point percentage still stuck at 28.5. This inability to throw 3 pointers has made Giannis very much predictable during his whole career.

39-year-old veteran, Kyle possesses an astonishing career 42.9 percentage from 3 pointer line. With his season-high of 53.6 coming with Utah Jazz in 2009-10 season. So, Giannis in all sense is right to learn from his senior Korver.
