Giannis Antetokounmpo gave Heat a glimpse of his most dangerous role yet

Giannis Antetokounmpo showcased his playmaking abilities in his preseason debut for the Miami Heat against the Toronto Raptors. The two-time MVP recorded nine points, four rebounds, and seven assists in just 14 minutes of playing time, signaling how Miami intends to deploy him in the upcoming campaign.

Following the game, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra compared Antetokounmpo's unique combination of size and playmaking to Magic Johnson. Writer Kyle Pring argues that utilizing Antetokounmpo as a primary ball-handler alongside perimeter shooters makes this point guard role his most dangerous yet.
