The Greek Freak is an absolute animal. Four years ago Antetokounmpo was one of the most raw prospects that have ever entered the NBA but he has now developed into one of the most feared players on the court. With Jason Kidd playing him at point guard, and Antetokounmpo being 6’11, he has become a mismatch for every NBA team. Antetokounmpo can almost do anything imaginable on the basketball court. It takes him only one dribble from half court to get to the hoop, he regularly makes Dr J-esque dunks, and his overall athleticism is only matched by the likes of LeBron and Westbrook.
Antetokounmpo is the 1st player in NBA to finish top-20 in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. The scariest part is that he is not even close to hitting his prime. What can this man accomplish 5-6 years down the line?
But the most impressive aspect of the Freak is that he is only 22-years-old. Last season he averaged:
Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals | Blocks |
16.9 | 7.7 | 4.3 | 1.2 | 1.4 |
He has increased his stat line across every metric. All Antetokounmpo has to do is add a jump shot to his arsenal and he is destined for greatness. Next season with a healthy Jabari Parker and Kris Middleton and the Bucks should have a deep playoff run.
