Over the weekend, New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale said Giannis Antetokounmpo is the best player in the NBA, and it's hard not to agree with him. In 21 games this season, The Greek Freak is averaging 27.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game for the Bucks while shooting a blistering 57.8 percent from the field.
Although Antetokounmpo doesn't have a 3-point shot yet, he really doesn't need one since he can get to the rim whenever he wants and score in heavy traffic. The 23-year-old's long strides allow him to get to the basket with ease from anywhere on the court. Entering Monday, the Bucks are 15-7 on the season, second place in the Eastern Conference.
Tobias Harris, meanwhile, continues to be one of the most underrated players in the NBA. The 26-year-old scoring forward is averaging 21.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game and shooting 51.6 percent from the floor, 42.9 percent from the 3-point line and 83.6 percent from the charity stripe. Harris' stellar play is a big reason why the Clippers are tied with the Denver Nuggets for first place in the rugged Western Conference.
Harris will become an unrestricted free agent after this season ends and he is going to get paid.
