Here are the top three international NBA players going into the 2020-21 season.
Joel Embiid, Cameroon (Philadelphia 76ers)
Joel Embiid is a big man with a keen sense of humor. You can earn points in a variety of ways – be it sending, driving in a basket, or shooting from a distance. He is a midfielder where the Philadelphia 76ers hope to build a team that will be able to reach the NBA Finals.
Now with new coach Doc Rivers in charge, Embiid should see great progress this season. His last season’s ratings were 23.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks. The intense competition will see a big man from Cameroon rise to the top of the NBA’s power levels.
Luka Doncic, Slovenia (Dallas Mavericks)
Luke Doncic is entering his third year in the NBA. Last season, the Slovenian defender averaged 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in 33.6 minutes per game. The 21-year-old star’s talent and hope for the future looks bright for a good reason. His flexible play style is revered in today’s NBA.
He has the ability to move forward with the handle of the point guard, which makes him a bad defensive assignment for any opposition party. Over time and with more experience of the time game, Luke is ready to reach the top of multiple NBA Power Rankings.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece (Milwaukee Bucks)
The ‘Greek Freak’ and the ruling MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo deserves no entry. 1. Winning back-to-MVP awards is not an easy task and many NBA stars do not even have a single MVP credit in their names.
In his first two seasons with the Bucks, Giannis has beaten rival teams with his great skills at both ends of the bottom. As mentioned on this list, Giannis can also play a number of roles ranging from small-to-small shooting controls and sometimes to power-ups.
His last season’s ratings were 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.0 block in 30.4 minutes per game. The recent Bucks 2019-2020 games have been disappointing, and fans will be hoping to see them do better in this regard.
