Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo calls this guard one of the Bucks' best defenders.
Much of the credit for the Milwaukee Bucks' four-game winning streak will go to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard playing better together. This is deserved, the two superstars have improved at getting the ball to each other to create shots, and both scored over 30 points in the Bucks' win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
One defender who has stepped up is AJ Green. Green played a critical role in defending Chicago Bulls' Zach LaVine after he got off to a hot start on Wednesday, helping lead Milwaukee to a 122-106 win over Chicago.“He’s staying down on pump fakes. He’s using his body very smart. I think two years ago, he would get himself in foul trouble. He’d use his hands a lot, maybe jump a little bit on the pump fake, get the guy to shoot two easy free throws. But now, he’s just solid.
“He moves his feet so well, he puts his body so well and he’s an underrated defender,” Antetokounmpo said," via Nehm. “In my opinion, he’s a really, really good defender and he shows in practice. He shows it in games, you guys are seeing that. Like he’s not a liability on defense, he’s actually one of our better defenders on the team.
