Way too early All-NBA team predictions for 2023-2024
By Tyler Key
All-NBA First Team – Giannis Antetokounmpo
At this point, Antetokounmpo is as consistent and reliable as it gets for an NBA superstar. In each of the last three seasons, he has averaged between 11.0 and 11.8 RPG and between 5.7 and 5.9 APG to go along with scoring outputs of 28+ PPG since 2019. Additionally, in three of the last four seasons, he has averaged exactly 55.3% shooting.
The two-time MVP is still elite defensively, too. He is mentioned in the Defensive Player of the Year conversation year in and year out, and next season should be no different. Despite the first-round exit against the eventual Eastern Conference Champions, the Miami Heat, the Bucks still project to be very good next year.
Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez are all set to return to assist Antetokounmpo in 2023-2024, which means their core that won the NBA title in 2021 is still intact. Offensively and defensively, the Greek Freak is a menace, and as long as he plays 65 games, the 28-year-old in the middle of his prime should be a lock for the All-NBA First Team.
