NBA 2K18: 10 Specific Player Characteristics We Need To See
6. Giannis Antetokoumpo's Versatility
The man with the most difficult surname in the NBA today, Antetokoumpo is also one of the most difficult players to implement into a video game. His incredible reach and potential are untranslatable to a simulated basketball game - the Greek Freak is just too unpredictable.
He's able to play all the positions on the court, which is especially hard to reflect in a game which basically limits your player to just two positions. There are stretches when Antetokoumpo is the point guard on offense and the center on defense - something you can actually do in the game.
But, during one possession he plays the point, in the next he's the center, then he's the small forward - you would have to switch positions during each possession, which would make the game too hard to manage. Instead, maybe we can just get rid of positions? At least for those special players like Giannis or LeBron?
