Giannis Antetokounmpo had a really solid month of February. Playing in 9 of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 10 games this month, the Greek Freak went on to record a staggering 32.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.4 blocks, and almost 1 steal per game.
These numbers are not that surprising as the 2-time MVP has put up such stats several times in his career now. However, the efficiency at which Giannis has been shooting the rock, is what has been leaving everyone in shock.
The reigning Finals MVP shot the ball at a season-high 60.9% from the field and an outstanding 39.4% from beyond the arc. While attempting almost 4 three-pointers in a single game, Antetokounmpo has been surprisingly shooting at a higher efficiency than some of the league’s best three-point shooters this past month – Stephen Curry (36%), Karl-Anthony Towns (38.8%), Trae Young (38.6%), Jayson Tatum (32.6%), his own teammate Khris Middleton (27%), among many other sharpshooters.
