Side Note:
There seems to be some conflicting information on if he is in the 2021 NBA Draft, as RealGM lists his draft status as for the 2023 draft, but it’s been reported that he’s worked out for three NBA teams, including the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, July 27th, so it seems that Alex Antetokounmpo is in the 2021 draft.
