Giannis Antetokounmpo has been voted 19th top player in the NBA in the annual rankings of ESPN. That’s 21 spots higher than last year, when he held the 40th place.
The Greek guard-forward left behind him players of the caliber of Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade or Europeans such as Marc and Pau Gasol or Dirk Nowitzki.
Αntetokounmpo holds the 19th position according to “the quality and the quantity of his contribution to his team’s ability to win games”. These are the criteria that ESPN experts took under consideration in the related voting.
So far he has been the top performer of the Milwaukee Bucks averaging 21.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6 assists per game that have helped his team begin with a 4-3 record.
