Nearly seven foot tall, it was another display of Antetokounmpo's speed and power against arguably the two best centers in the league. With the forward's length, he provides daily highlights as he continues to improve the rest of his game.

As Antetokounmpo is leading the Bucks to a 15-10 record during the 2017-18 NBA season, they added more talent following the Eric Bledsoe trade. With Jabari Parker still recovering from his latest injury, it will be interesting to see if they attempt to improve on their fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference.

While the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers are considered the favorites in the East, the Bucks have reportedly been linked with DeAndre Jordan as the Los Angeles Clippers are in unfamiliar territory in recent years with an 11-15 record.
