To paraphrase the previous slide: Yeah, yeah, it's super-early, but let's save everybody the trouble and give Giannis Antetokounmpo the Most Valuable Player award tomorrow.
Little to the surprise of everybody who made him the first pick in their fantasy hoops draft, Milwaukee's favorite Grecian Freakazoid is playing at an all-world level. I'll let the numbers and the pictures speak for themselves. First, the digits:
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Average | NBA Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Points | 36.8 | 1st |
| Rebounds | 10.8 | 10th |
| Field Goals Made | 14.5 | 1st |
| Assists | 5.4 | 24th |
| Steals | 2.2 | 7th |
| Blocks | 1.2 | 27th |
| Minutes | 38.5 | 2nd |
And now, the visuals.

Little wonder that Vegas lists The Freak as their current favorite for MVP.
