With the new NBA season just a month away, ESPN released its Top 10 ranking of players, including Giannis Antetokounmpo at #9, the only European player in the list.
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated also ranked The Greek Freak at #9.
Who will be the best in the 2017-18 season? Check out the rest of the ranking to get an idea:
10. Draymond Green / Golden State Warriors
As ESPN mentions: a tone-setter of the highest order on the defensive end, Green ranked second in the NBA in deflections last season as the Warriors finished first as a team. When Green played the 5, opponents averaged just 0.91 points per play and shot 42 percent from the field.
9. Giannis Antetokounmpo / Milwaukee Bucks
The Greek Freak was the youngest player in NBA history to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks last season. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the Bucks‘ superstar.
