Top 10 NBA players for 2019-20 season

#2 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Giannis Antetokounmpo

After winning the MVP award by leading his team on both ends of the floor to 60 regular season wins and the Eastern Conference Finals, the next step for "The Greek Freak" is winning a championship. His numbers - 28 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game last season - are simply outstanding.

Giannis is truly destined to be an NBA legend because he is so dominant in many areas of the game due to the fact that he can bully his way inside for a layup/dunk, score from the mid-range area, make plays for his teammates, rebound like the best Center in the league and block shots relentlessly.

#1 Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard

Leonard's free agency decision took forever in comparison to all of the other superstars and thus became the subject of high speculation from NBA analysts who said that he's either going to be re-signing with Toronto or forming a big 3 in the Lakers.

So when he decided to join the Clippers, that was already a surprise, but when it was revealed that he joined the team with the intention of forming an unbelievable duo with Paul George, the whole NBA world was shocked. As a result, the Clippers are favorites to win the 19/20 title.

What edges him ahead of LeBron is his superiority on defense, as Kawhi is recognized as one of the best on-the-ball defenders of all time. He's ahead of Giannis because of his ability to knock down jump-shots in clutch moments.
