#4 Pascal Siakam (Cameroon)
NBA Career l 12.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 2.3 APG
While his career stats are nothing more than average, Pascal Siakam has taken a massive leap with every passing season. Last season, the 26-year-old averaged 22.9 points and 7.3 assists, in the process evolving into one of the most elite players in the NBA.
While not everyone thinks that Siakam could be the first option on a championship team, he is still an amazing player and is arguably one of the best second or third options in the league today.
#3 Nikola Jokic (Serbia)
NBA Career l 17.0 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 7.0 APG
Nikola Jokic, or 'Joker' as he is commonly called, is one of the best passers in the NBA. The 25-year-old, who is incredibly versatile at the offensive end, is one of the young superstar players in the NBA.
The Denver Nuggets' recent run to the Western Conference Finals was an incredibly impressive one and may only be a sign of things to come as the team continues to improve around Nikola Jokic.
#2 Luka Doncic (Slovenia)
NBA Career l 24.7 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 7.3 APG
In his first year in the NBA, Luka Doncic won the Rookie of the Year award. In his second, he was an MVP candidate for a large part of the regular season. He dropped a 42-point triple-double against the favorites to win it all with the LA Clippers in his first-ever NBA playoff series.
At just 21, Doncic is already one of the best players in the league, performing at the caliber of an MVP. The fact that he has adapted so quickly to the best basketball league in the world is scary, and we can't wait to see how the player fares in the NBA in the future.
#1 Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece)
NBA Career l 20.1 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 4.3 APG
A two-time MVP and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, it is hard to believe that Giannis Antetokounmpo is only 25 years old. Technically speaking, he hasn't even reached his prime yet.
During the regular season, the player, who is better defined by the term 'an unstoppable force', moved through any defense set up against him with ease while also managing to shut down the best in the NBA in defense.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has the chance to be one of the greatest of all time. But for that to happen, the Greek Freak must find postseason success, whether it is with the Milwaukee Bucks or another franchise in the NA.
