#3 Giannis Antetokounmpo – the X-factor for the East
There are four players in the All-Star Game rosters who will be featuring for the first times in their careers. Of the four, only one of them was chosen by fans to be a part of the starters, Giannis “Greek Freak” Antetokounmpo. The 6’11” Milwaukee Bucks player might be deemed too tall to be a forward/guard but the agility the 22-year-old shows on the court is nothing short of admirable.
Giannis averages 23.4 Points per Game, 8.6 Rebounds PG, 5.5 Assists PG, 2 Blocks PG and 1.8 Steals PG, a truly all-round showing. In LeBron James, the East have the most experienced campaigner in the entire roster, however, it might very well be Giannis who steals the show. With the All-Star game rarely being close to defensive, the offensive freedom could display the Greek youngster at his best.
