#1 – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

The Greek Freak was the easiest choice on this list, and he predictably comes in as the best player under the age of 23 currently in the NBA.

He’s been an NBA MVP candidate this season with tons of speculation of a chance for him to win. If not for James Harden playing out of his mind, he might actually be the favorite.

He’s changed the Milwaukee Bucks outlook on the future and has revamped the entirety of the organization.
