How has Kostas Antetokounmpo fared in the NBA so far? Tracing Giannis Antetokounmpo's brother's career trajectory

With Kostas Antetokounmpo, the Antetokounmpo Brothers are one of the many players that have family ties in the NBA. With three family members in the league, the Antetokounmpos have made a name for themselves as an athletic household.

The league can't get enough of the brothers. So far, the league has Giannis, Thanasis and Kostas. Both Giannis and Thanasis are with the Milwaukee Bucks and have achieved significant success in their careers. Kostas, on the other hand, still has to make a name for himself in the NBA.

Kostas is the youngest Antetokounmpo in the NBA right now, and they're still waiting on Alex, their youngest brother, to break his way into the league.

Kostas was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 60th overall pick back in 2018, but was immediately traded to the Dallas Mavericks. He only played two games for the Mavs as he spent the majority of time with their G League affiliate, the Texas Legends.

After being waived by the Mavericks in the 2019 offseason, the LA Lakers picked him up. In the 2019-20 season, Kostas played only five games with the Lakers. But that didn't matter as he was the first Antetokounmpo to win the NBA championship. He was re-signed by the Lakers over the summer of 2020 and had a chance to play more games than his first two seasons.

Kostas Antetokounmpo wasn't in the NBA last season. Instead, he signed with ASVEL Basket, a team owned by former NBA star Tony Parker. He spent the majority of last season overseas.

Where is Kostas Antetokounmpo now?

Kostas Antetokounmpo signs with the Chicago Bulls

Before the Chicago Bulls' training camp started, Kostas Antetokounmpo and the team agreed to a two-way contract. But since joining, the 24-year old forward hasn't been able to show what he can do on the floor. Antetokounmpo hasn't played a single game this season for the Bulls. During the preseason, Kostas played two games with limited playing time.

Kostas is far from the caliber of player his older brother Giannis is. Since his rookie year, Kostas has struggled to be a consistent rotation player for any of the teams that he's been in. So far, he has averaged 1.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.3 blocks in his career. He's a 37% shooter from the field and a 47% free throw shooter.

He may not be a consistent rotation piece, but at least he's the first to win the title among his brothers.
