“The Knicks drafted Antetokounmpo, the older brother of Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, late in the second round of the 2014 draft.Somewhat surprisingly, Antetokounmpo decided to turn down a two-year, $550,000 deal overseas last summer to play for the Knicks’ D-League team, which paid him $25,000.Antetokounmpo’s patience has now been rewarded with an NBA contract.”
Last season with the D-League Westchester Knicks. Antetokounmpo averaged 13.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.
