#7 Anthony Davis
If Giannis is a freak athlete for his size, Anthony Davis is a complete package on both ends of the floor who can play both big man positions. As the best big man in the league for the past couple of seasons, AD has been carrying the Pelicans franchise on his back from as far back as the 2014-15 season.

He outdid himself in the first round series against the Blazers in the playoffs this summer, averaging north of 30 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in a sweep of the Portland franchise.

Davis should wind up as the best player in the league in a couple of years after the #1 player on our list has outlasted his prime.
