1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
Could there really be any other name at the top of this list right now? Since returning from suspension for his misjudged but I’m sure incredibly satisfying charge at Mike Dunleavy Jr. in game six of last season’s playoff series against the Chicago Bulls, Giannis Antetokounmpo has looked like a man transformed.
A strong Eurobasket campaign set the table for what Giannis could bring to the Bucks this season, but he has far surpassed expectations with his aggressive and active work on the offensive end of the floor, flashing all kinds of moves that he didn’t have in his repertoire last year.
If Antetokounmpo keeps his current pace he’s going to be an All-Star. Not only that, but he’d find himself in the discussion for one of the league’s best players too. If that transpires, Milwaukee will have a bona fide star sooner than they expected, that will only prove to be a good thing.
