2015-16 Stats: 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.2 steals, 50.6% field goals

“The Greek Freak” had a breakout season last year, to say the least. Giannis Antetokounmpo was the primary ball-handler for the Milwaukee Bucks last season, after the disappointment that Michael Carter-Williams has become for this team.

The 21-year-old forward is very unique and versatile for someone that stands at 6-foot-11. What is overlooked the most about Antetokounmpo is his efficiency, though. He is one of four small forwards on this list that shoots over 50 percent from the field.

Also, his athleticism translates to him being one of the best defenders on the Bucks. As Giannis enters his fourth season in the NBA, the possibilities really are limitless.
