Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, is one of the NBA’s most dominant players this season. With the Milwaukee Bucks’ second half of the NBA season ready to begin on Friday night on the road against the Minnesota Timberwolves, CBS Sports selected its top 25 NBA players at the present point in the regular season.
Antetokounmpo, unsurprisingly, is regarded among the best three players in the NBA. He was placed third on the list. The only two players he is not ahead of on this list are Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets (ranked second) and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers (ranked first).
Giannis Antetokounmpo has played in 54 games so far this season for Milwaukee. He is averaging 30.8 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 6.4 APG, 1.1 BPG, and 1.4 SPG. Antetokounmpo has recorded a lot of double-doubles this season for the Bucks.
Reasoning That CBS Sports Brad Botkin Gives For Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks Being Third on the
List
Brad Botkin compiled a list of the top 25 players in the NBA this season for CBS Sports. He explained why Antetokounmpo is now ranked on this ranking.
Botkin says:
“His.616 shooting % is the highest of his career. He now leads the league in total points. He is unquestionably the most scary transition scorer and overall physical force in basketball.
Giannis Antetokounmpo can dominate a basketball game at any time. This explains why he has stats like 33 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists. Antetokounmpo has earned two NBA MVPs and one NBA Finals MVP for a reason.
He will not be the reason why the Bucks (35-21), who are currently third in the Eastern Conference will fall short this season. Antetokounmpo needs Damian Lillard and others on the roster to get their act together for the second half of the NBA regular season and throughout the postseason.
