NBA 2017-18: 10 Early Regular Season MVP Candidates

#6 Giannis Antentokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

The Greek Freak is growing by leaps and bounds every season. For four years straight Antetokounmpo has increased his per-game averages in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Last year he led the Bucks in each of those five categories, an elite accomplishment. He was nearly unguardable, and defensively he was making plays that fans could only dream of. If the Bucks win more games, there’s no stopping him from being a legitimate threat to win the award.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the brink of becoming one of the league’s two or three best players. That thought boggles the mind, that the unheralded No. 15 pick from 2013 could play in small market Milwaukee and be that good. The only thing consistently lacking is sufficient range on a go-to jump shot. Given a healthy roster, the bucks will rally behind him and make a lot of noise in the Eastern Conference.
