NBA All-Star 2020: Biggest strength and weakness of each member of Team Giannis

The 2019-20 NBA season will see a break in the action this weekend as the league's best players head to Chicago. While the Slam Dunk Contest and Three-Point Contest promise to be exciting, the weekend will once again be headlined by the annual All-Star Game.

For the second consecutive year, a team captained by LeBron James will take on a side selected by Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both teams are filled with some of the biggest names in the NBA, and here we will take a look at the biggest strength and weakness of each member of Team Giannis.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis will captain his own team for the second consecutive year

Biggest Strength: Athleticism

There is a reason that Giannis Antetokounmpo is called the Greek Freak. Antetokounmpo's ferocious athleticism combined with his ever-increasing skill set has allowed him to quickly develop into arguably the NBA's best player, and it is scary to think that the 25-year-old has yet to hit his prime.

Biggest Weakness: Three-throw accuracy

Giannis' three-point shooting still needs work but is heading in the right direction. Meanwhile, the Bucks star is currently shooting a career-low 61% from the charity stripe, and his free-throw shooting could haunt him in the playoffs.

Joel Embiid

Biggest Strength: Interior Scoring

While well-rounded offensively, much of Embiid's damage on the offensive end comes in the interior. The Sixers man takes full advantage of his size and strength to bully opposing defenders, and his ability to score frequently in the interior has put him among the highest-scoring bigs since he made his NBA debut back in 2016.

Biggest Weakness: Three-point shooting

From a skill standpoint, Embiid has few weaknesses at either end of the court, although his three-point shooting still has room for growth. Shooting 33.6 percent from beyond the arc is by no means disastrous for a center, although if Embiid has his sights on a future MVP award, this is an area he can continue to work on.

Pascal Siakam

Biggest Strength: Post-up game

Siakam was one of the NBA's most efficient players in the post for much of the 2018-19 season, and the 25-year-old is continuing to improve the strongest aspect of his game. Despite a lack of help, Siakam remains an expert at getting to the basket - and while he is shooting more three's - much of his career-high 23.5 points is owed to his excellent post-up game.

Biggest Weakness: Playmaking

Siakam entered the NBA with virtually no playmaking skills, and his progress has been stunning over the past 24 months. However, the 2019 Most Improved Player is still averaging just 3.5 assists compared to 2.4 turnovers per contest.

Kemba Walker

Biggest Strength: Scoring

Kemba Walker is a well-rounded guard, although his greatest strength is his ability to score. Over his last four seasons in Charlotte, Walker averaged at least 20 points per game, and despite the presence of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Boston, he is still managing 21.8 points on 43.3 percent shooting.

Biggest Weakness: Defense

Considering his size, Walker is a better defender than expected, and the 29-year-old has increased his effort on the defensive end in recent seasons. However, he is still a player that opposing teams can attack, and his game remains focused around his elite offensive skillset.

Trae Young

Biggest Strength: Scoring

After averaging 19.1 points during his rookie season, Trae Young has exploded this year to average just shy of 30 points per contest. Able to shoot off the dribble and from distance, Young has the potential to become one of the best scorers of his generation and will be an annual contender for the scoring title.

Biggest Weakness: Defense

There were concerns over Young's defense before he entered the NBA, and that part of his game has quickly become a huge problem. Statistically, Young is among the worst defenders in the NBA - and with few signs of improvement - it could be a long-term problem for both the point guard and the Hawks.

Bam Adebayo

Biggest Strength: Defense

At 22, Bam Adebayo is already among the NBA's best defenders. Averaging 10.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks, Adebayo's defensive skillset is incredibly well rounded, and his presence can't be overstated.

Biggest Weakness: Three-point shooting

It is easy to forget that this is just Adebayo's first season playing as a starter, and he will continue to develop. Nevertheless, the one notable absence from his game right now is a lack of a three-point shot, and the Miami star has attempted just one 3-pointer over his past 10 outings.

Brandon Ingram

Biggest Strength: Scoring

Brandon Ingram has finally caught fire following his offseason move to the Pelicans, and the 22-year-old has further improved his work on the offensive end. Equipped with a well-rounded arsenal of offensive moves, Ingram is currently averaging 24.9 points while shooting an impressive 47.3 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.

Biggest Weakness: Defensive focus

Ingram possesses a 7-foot-3 wingspan and has the potential to be an elite defender. Nevertheless, while he is averaging a solid number of rebounds - Ingram all too often fails to make stops on the defensive end, and he still has some ways to go to become one of the best two-way players in the league.

Donovan Mitchell

Biggest Strength: Athleticism

Donovan Mitchell is becoming an increasingly well-rounded guard - and much of his game relies on his athleticism. Mitchell's speed allows him to blast by defenders to get easy points - and he has also used his athleticism and 6-foot-10 wingspan to his advantage on the defensive end following a shaky rookie year.

Biggest Weakness: Shot Selection

The Jazz star is currently averaging 24.3 points on 45.7 percent shooting from the floor - which are excellent numbers for a third-year guard. However, Mitchell remains prone to taking contested shots - and needs to learn to look for teammates rather than forcing difficult looks.

Jimmy Butler

Biggest Strength: Lockdown defense

Jimmy Butler has long been among the NBA's best defenders - and there are few better lockdown stars in the league. Butler thrives most when guarding the opposing team's best offensive player, and thanks to his ability to protect both the rim and the perimeter, Butler usually comes out on top.

Biggest Weakness: Three-point shooting

An incredibly well-rounded player at both ends of the court, Butler's only real weakness has been his three-point shooting. The 30-year-old is a career 33.4 percent shooter from beyond the arc - although that tally has slipped to 24.8% this year.

Rudy Gobert

Biggest Strength: Defense

Rudy Gobert has been named Defensive Player of the Year in each of the past two seasons and the Frenchman excels at guarding Utah's basket. Gobert produces a significant number of blocks and rebounds on a nightly basis, and his 7 foot 3 frame makes it incredibly difficult for opposing teams to see much success in the paint.

Biggest Weakness: Limited offensive skillset

Gobert is on course to average more than 15 points per game for the second consecutive season, although the 27-year-old does all his damage in the paint, and has never drained a three. Additionally, he has shot just 62.8 percent from the charity stripe since making his debut back in 2013.

Kyle Lowry

Biggest Strength: Playmaking

Just last month, Kyle Lowry surpassed Jose Calderon to become Toronto's all-time leader in assists - solidifying his reputation as one of the best playmakers of his generation. Just like fellow veteran Chris Paul, Lowry excels at getting his teammates involved, and the last time that the 33-year-old averaged less than six assists per game came way back during the 2009-10 season.

Biggest Weakness: Shooting Accuracy

Since moving to the Raptors back in 2011, Lowry has often finished the season second in scoring. However, he has never been the most precise shooter (career 42.3 FG%) and finds it difficult to emerge from shooting slumps.

Khris Middleton

Biggest Strength: All-round play

Khris Middleton doesn't excel at any particular skill, although the 28-year-old is among the NBA's most well-rounded stars. Able to shoot the three, guard multiple positions on defense and create for his teammates - Middleton is a rare bread that would make a positive contribution on any team in the league.

Biggest Weakness: Lack of quickness

Middleton has defied expectations to develop into an All-Star, although his lack of speed is notable. His skill set allows him to be effective on the defensive end, although Middleton simply doesn't have the explosiveness to burst past an opposing defender.
