The Greek Freak being there is not surprising although one would wonder what would be his edge over his contemporaries if only his seasons were not marred by injuries. He finished the 2024-25 season by becoming the first player in NBA history to record at least 30 ppg, 10ppg, and 5 apg in three straight seasons.

As for Turner, the last time he became the blocks leaders was in the 2020-2021 season with 3.4. He is currently averaging 2 per game. Brook Lopez whom he essentially replaced averaged 1.9 per game last season.
Milwaukee Bucks fans love the stats
Head coach Doc Rivers and Jon Horst already spoke about how they love the probable fit between Antetokounmpo and Turner and this stat only fueled it. Fans are excited.
