Damian Lillard’s first few days as a member of the Bucks have provided a number of comments that added even more hype behind arguably the league’s best duo, as he joins Giannis Antetokounmpo. But the latest quote from Lillard falls under the category of him “saying what everyone was thinking,” as the 33-year-old broke down just how brutal it could be for NBA teams to defend Milwaukee this season.

The short version of Lillard’s evaluation is that defenses will have to choose whether to attempt to clog the paint and stop Antetokounmpo from dunking “every time” or keep him from making “nine threes.” Pick your poison.

New Milwaukee Bucks duo Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard could prove to be a deadly combination.

“Teams are going to give [Giannis] attention. They’re not gonna allow this dude to come downhill and just dunk every time, because that’s what’d happened … so it’s two on the ball and you popping back to open threes, and I’m a sniper,” Lillard told reporters.

“So even if his usage is the same or mine is not as much, I’m still going to be able to position myself to have opportunities to be effective. And it might not look like usage. It just might look like—which one are you going to do? You going to clog up the paint, or are you going to allow me to make nine threes?”
