Through almost our first month of NBA action let’s go through my top three players of the week and discuss why I think they should be on this list, they don’t have to have the most points, rebounds or assists, but their impact on winning and on their team is what is most important, this list is in no order as these three players are my considered top three players.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis is widely considered to be the best player in the world and his team is backing it up in the win column, having the best record in the NBA without their number two star Khris Middleton. Giannis is putting up great numbers with 32 points 12 rebounds and just over 5 assists a game. Considering Milwaukee hasn’t played close to their potential yet they look like one of the scariest teams in the league.
Stephen Curry
What Steph Curry is doing this late in his career is phenomenal. Curry is coming up on 35 years old and is playing the best basketball of his career thus far and with Curry averaging 33 7 and 7 a game, Steph has really evolved his game over these last few years and with what the Warriors starters are playing like Curry deserves a lot of the flowers.
Paolo Banchero
With what Paolo Banchero is doing in the league this year as a rookie is truly unreal, as he’s quietly averaging 23 8 and 4 on a terrible Orlando Magic team, Paolo was the number one draft pick in this year’s draft and even though he’s on a bad team, he still deserves the recognition as he is exceeding expectations even as a number one pick.
