5. Giannis Antetokuonmpo

At this rate, Giannis Antetokuonmpo’s paycheck is going to be longer than his name. The young star and the Milwaukee Bucks have agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension, solidifying the Greek Freak’s status as the face of the franchise. He will probably play a lot at the PG position, and his ability to score and pass make him a deadly matchup. Not to mention that he has the wingspan of an Andean condor. He has a lot of expectation to live up to. Bucks fans better hope he’s worth the price tag. If he’s not enough to pull Milwaukee out of mediocrity then I don’t know what is. No pressure, Giannis.
