10 Biggest Surprises of the New NBA Season

#7 Giannis Reaching A Whole New Level Without An Outside Shot

Giannis Antetokounmpo's evolution this season should scare the NBA

Nothing new can be said about this Freak of Nature. He owns Basketball games. You see he's having an off night, so you check the score. He's scored 25 or so points. This is his excellence in the game. He's the heir to LeBron James. And, he's just 22. Imagine how good he'll be when he's 25.

The only chink in his armor, he doesn't have a 3 point shot. Not so long ago, he infamously passed up an open 3 against the Toronto Raptors in game 6 of the first round of last season's playoffs. He instead attacked the paint. Toronto marauded the paint. The result: Milwaukee lost and was eliminated from the playoffs. So, many believed that the only way Giannis will reach LeBron's level was a 3 point shot. Well, that's not been the case.

He's averaging 31.7 Points per game on 59.4% shooting to go with 10.4 rebounds (all 3 are career highs), 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per game. That's MVP level production. He has reached a new level. Imagine how good he can be with a 3 point shot in his arsenal. That's some voodoo level Freakiness there. Let's just leave that to the imagination and enjoy him tearing NBA defenses apart.
