#1 Giannis Antetokounmpo

Boston Celtics v Milwaukee Bucks - Game Three
Boston Celtics v Milwaukee Bucks - Game Three

The 2016-17 NBA campaign was a coming-out party of sorts for The Alphabet. Antetokounmpo became the youngest player in NBA history to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks 2 seasons back, before almost repeating the feat by leading the team in 4 of those categories in the 2017-18 season.

We've literally never seen anyone quite like him - Antetokounmpo's combination of per-possession points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks is unprecedented among NBA players. Now just imagine what he'll be able to do once he adds an outside shot - an aspect of his game that he already seems to have put significant work on this offseason given what we've seen in preseason action.

The sky is the limit for Giannis, who looks set to take over from LeBron as the best player in the league before long.
