If the Greek Freak had another starter next to him who was more than an average player, they too could've beeen #1 on this list. However, for now, forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has to deal with guard Khris Middleton. Middleton signed a 5-year, $178 million contract this past offseason and was certainly a big shocker. Most would say that Middleton is not worth this big a contract. Yet, he has been a vital player in key games for the Milwaukee Bucks and has been healthy for the most part since joining the team in 2013.

The Greek Freak is an unstoppable player and will continue to produce no matter what. He helped his team reach the Eastern Conference last season, only losing to Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors. The question this coming offseason will be whether Giannis will stay with the team as he has been rumored to sign with different teams. Given the amount of success he has had with the Bucks, it would be a huge shock if he is on a different team next season.
