The eight-time All-NBA honoree is having a great year. His team is not.
Eight-time All-NBA Milwaukee Bucks superstar power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is a one-man fastbreak.
The 6-foot-11 big man, who leads the league in scoring at 32.6 points per game, also leads the league in fastbreak scoring by a significant margin. Per, the 29-year-old is averaging a whopping 6.1 fastbreak points a game, far outpacing Toronto Raptors small forward RJ Barrett and Phoenix Suns All-Star forward Kevin Durant, both of whom are averaging 5.4 fastbreak points a night, though Barrett slots in with the second-most fastbreak points and Durant is third.
Obviously, these averages are rounded off to the first decimal point, so Barrett's tally must be a bit ahead of Durant, while Powell's must be somewhat better than Braun's. Milwaukee is currently a middling 11-10 on the year, good for the fifth-best tally in the Eastern Conference — though that record is a vast improvement over its brutal 2-8 season start. The club's scoring and defense are fairly middle-of-the-line. Milwaukee is averaging 113.6 points per game, good for 13th in the league, and allowing 112.5 opponent points per game, which ranks merely 15th.
