#8 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Milwaukee Bucks v Cleveland Cavaliers
Milwaukee Bucks v Cleveland Cavaliers

Giannis Antetokounmpo is probably the most unstoppable player in basketball not named LeBron James.

The man, standing at 6'11", is second only to Westbrook in points scored off fast breaks. Routinely, he pulls off the kind of dunks and blocks which get basketball fans wondering if they've ever seen the like of it from a player who's supposed to be a big man given his size. I mean, how does a 6'11" guy Eurostep his way from the 3-point line to a power dunk? How do the mechanics of that work out?

Antetokounmpo is the life and soul of the Bucks franchise. His season averages of 26.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks per game on 52.9% shooting from the field marked the 4th successive season for the Greek Freak with an increase in scoring volume and efficiency.

Given that he attempts less than 19 shots per game, and could easily bump that average up to 21 on a per-game basis, he could end up with the first season of his career averaging 30 points a game next year. Which might just make our placement on this list too low by this time next year.
