#6 Giannis Antetokounmpo - 94
The Greek Freak will begin his sixth NBA campaign under Mike Budenholzer - the first elite coach that he'll play under during his time in the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks have, for long, been an underachieving franchise despite oodles of talent across the board, and their coaching can be cited as a primary reason for that.
He continued to make progress and improvements in his game, raising his scoring average for the 4th straight year last season and finishing among the top 5 scorers of the league. With the signing of Ersan Ilyasova and Brook Lopez, the Bucks now have a frontcourt that can bang with any in the league (given that Giannis is the default power forward during clutch time).
