#1 Giannis Antetokounmpo's continued brilliance
Following an excellent 2018-19 season where he guided the Bucks to the league's best regular-season record and an appearance in the Eastern Conference Finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo was named as the league's Most Valuable Player for the first time.
Having just turned 25, it was widely debated whether Giannis was approaching his prime years but the superstar has managed to further elevate his game during the opening months of 2019-20.
In 24 appearances this term, Antetokounmpo is averaging career-highs in points (30.9) and rebounds (13.2), while also averaging 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. His all-round game has been excellent and his leadership skills continue to grow as he intensifies attempts to bring a title to Milwaukee. Ultimately, it's been a great team effort so far this term but Antetokounmpo remains the driving force behind their 16-game winning streak.
