Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd has claimed that he is ready to use Giannis Antetokounmpo in all five positions this season.

Jabari Parker will miss the start of the season as he continues to recover from an ACL injury, which means that Antetokounmpo is likely to be used as a power forward in the early stages of the campaign.

The 20-year-old has often been given the responsibility with the ball in hand early in plays, and Kidd is confident that he will relish any role he is asked to fill.

"He's 20 years old, and he's going to play every position for us," the Bucks coach told reporters. "He's never complaining. He just goes out there and plays."

Antetokounmpo will miss the season opener against the New York Knicks next Wednesday due to a suspension he picked up for a push on Mike Dunleavy in the playoffs, before returning against the Washington Wizards two days later.
