It’s always cool to see young forces come into the NBA. There seems to be an awful lot these days, with some of the league’s top players younger than 25 years old. Likely at the top of that list is 24-year-old Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The “Greek Freak” has been lighting up highlight reels all year, and it’s earned him a nod in the MVP finalist category. While he is one of the scariest players in the league when it comes to potential, he still has some work to do. He found that out the hard way, and opened up about it just a week after being eliminated from playoffs by the Toronto Raptors.
Outside shooting was certainly an issue for Antetokounmpo, and with Toronto’s rim protection seeming to get stronger as the series went on, it proved to be a difference.
The Bucks star seems to be aware, and it’s scary to think about what kind of player he could develop into if he is able to get his stroke down. He’s already a force, but has room to grow.
