Milwaukee Bucks: The Greek Freak

With Khris Middleton out for possibly the entire year and the team sitting at 6-7, hovering around .500 has been about as good as it gets for the Milwaukee Bucks. Thanks to Giannis Antetokounmmpo, however, this might not be a lost season after all.

Averaging a gargantuan 21.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 steals per game, the Greek Freak is putting up numbers that have only been matched by Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson for an entire NBA season.

He already has one triple-double in his first 13 games, and he’s becoming a two-way terror who overwhelms opponents with his length and trademark spin move in the lane. The scary thing is, this franchise cornerstone will only turn 22 in a few days. “Own The Future,” indeed.
