Milwaukee Bucks are surging in the Eastern Conference
Milwaukee Bucks are surging in the Eastern Conference

The Milwaukee Bucks have started the season on a great note, currently 2nd in the Eastern Conference with a 19-9 record. They're just 2 games behind the conference leaders Toronto Raptors, but have not been in superb form, getting just 6 wins in their last 10.

One player who is always in the discussion as to why the Bucks are so high up in the conference, has gotta be Giannis Anteokounmpo. Coach Budenholzer's system seems to have fit the Greek Freak perfectly.

Giannis has been a force to reckon with, averaging absolutely MVP numbers, more than 26 points per game, along with a huge 13 rebounds and also 6 assists. Nobody has an all-round game like the big man does. In the last match against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Giannis blew up, scoring 44 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists as well. He will look to keep this form going against the Detroit Pistons.
