PF 1 - Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks):

The Milwaukee Bucks are a team built around their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo. They quickly adapted to the new system put into place by their new head coach, Mike Budenholzer. They have all shooters surrounding him and made him the crown jewel of this Bucks team. This system has directly translated into the second place for the Bucks this season, with the record of 16-7. They have been 6-4 in their last 10 games, but this is not for the lack of trying by Antetokounmpo.

Giannis in the last 3 games has been a force to reckon with, averaging a huge 28 points per game, along with 12 rebounds and 7 assists per game as well. He seems to have taken another leap this season, shooting more efficiently, pulling down more rebounds and playmaking more.

There’s no way to guard Giannis anymore. He’s too quick for anyone to defend him one-on-one, and he’s too good a passer for teams to send help now. Instead of putting his shoulder into the chest of weaker big men and dunking through them, he’s getting around slower big men and dunking over them.
Alternative pick: LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs)
