Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday finished the previous season as the leader in steals in the playoffs, making a total of 38 steals. He also led in assists with 199 assists completed in the playoffs, helping the Milwaukee Bucks clinch their first title in 50 years. He also led the Bucks in steals during the regular season, placing second in assists and third in points, field goals and blocks.

Holiday featured in three of the five preseason games played by the Bucks. The point guard recorded eight assists in their final preseason fixture against the Dallas Mavericks, the most assists made by a player on either team. The one-time All-Star recorded a field goal of 50% in 12 attempts and made six rebounds. He will surely be a big asset to the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021-22 NBA season if he stays healthy and fit.


#3 Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Greek Freak will be the focal point for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2021-22 NBA season as always, and his athleticism and dominant style of play will break defenses as we have seen more often than not. With the constant growth and development of his weaknesses, Giannis Antetokounmpo will most likely put up an MVP performance in the new season.

Antetokounmpo has shown over time his hunger to grow into a formidable player whose weaknesses become strengths. He seems to have worked more on his shooting, especially from beyond the arc as he netted two threes in two attempts in the preseason game against the Mavericks. He scored the most points by any player in the game (26), although the Milwaukee Bucks lost (103-114). Looks like we will be seeing the 2020 MVP make more shots from beyond the arc, which will add interesting depth to his game.
