Yes! The Greek Freak tops our list of the toughest player to guard in transition. With his freakishly long arms, his pole like legs and his godlike athleticism, he is almost impossible to stop in the transition!
It was always between him and LeBron to grab the first spot and we went with the future. The terrifying thing is that Giannis is only 23 and has a lot of room to improve! Maybe he will get better in drawing fouls and finishing, as he is having 6.1% and-1's which is less than LeBron's. Maybe he will get even better finishing around the rim. Time will tell.
Stephen Curry's defense against him in 2017 All-Star Game completely sums up the defender's feelings against defending Antetokounmpo in the open floor.
