12. Thanasis Antetokounmpo

Thanasis Antetokounmpo might not have the raw talent as the other guys on this list, but he’s the only one who has proven to impact the team when he gets on the court. His intensity is unmatched by anyone in the league and he’s a great guy to help lift the energy level of his teammates on those dull days.

He also works his tail off on defense, even if he’s out of control from time to time. Head coach Mike Budenholzer began entering him at the end of quarters as a defensive substitute during the playoffs. His offense is basically null, and he knows that. He’ll continue to be a very end of the bench player for the Bucks.
