Giannis Antetokounmpo | SG | Greece
This is Antetokuonmpo's first appearance with the Greece National Team after receiving citizenship last June. Coach Fotis Katsikaris is in the process of rebuilding without the veterans who anchored this club for a decade. The Milwaukee Bucks budding star, also known as 'The Greek Freak,' is heading towards 7-feet and won't turn 20 until December, so this World Cup experience is another opportunity for him to continue to blossom.
