Looking at the current NBA, players who can only exchange Antetokounmpo will only have 5 players in full play.

Basketball

The Bucks' record has become worse and worse in recent seasons, so there are more and more news about Antetokounmpo wanting to leave the team. Of course, the Bucks don't want to send him away at the player level like Antetokounmpo. Even if they have to trade, the other party must have enough sincerity. If they don't have a super star, the Bucks will not agree at all. In fact, looking at the current NBA, the players who can only replace Antetokounmpo, are only the five people below. Let’s take a look at who they are!

5: Doncic

As the best young players in the NBA, Doncic is four years younger than Antetokounmpo, and his personal ability is at the peak of his career. In the 23-24 season, he averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists per game. He not only won the scoring champion that season, but also led the Mavericks to the finals. His team-leading ability is obvious to all. As long as he forms a lineup around Doncic, the team's record will not be bad.

In fact, before being traded to the Lakers, Doncic had entered the first round of five times and entered the All-Star five times. He was a true superstar. In addition, Doncic also lost weight in the offseason. Before losing weight, he had top personal abilities. After losing weight, his condition would only be better, so Doncic was completely qualified to exchange Antetokounmpo.

4: Edwards

Edwards is younger. As a 23-year-old young player, Edwards has proved himself in the last two seasons, leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. His personal abilities are unquestionable. Moreover, last season Edwards also practiced a three-pointer, and he scored 320 three-pointers in a single season, which is also the top three-pointer of the season. Edwards' breakthrough was difficult to defend, and now he still has the league's top three-point shooting ability, so he can lead the team to achieve good results.

The most rare thing is Edwards' age. He has just made a name for himself and is far from reaching his peak. A team core like him who is unattainable can certainly be replaced by Antetokounmpo, but for the Timberwolves, Edwards is obviously a non-selling player.

3: Wenban Yama

Although Wenban Yama has only played for two seasons, the performance he showed on the court can be said to be at the historical level. In his rookie season, he was able to score a comprehensive data average of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. That year, he entered the best defensive team and also won the block king. In the second-year season, Wenban Yama's scoring methods have become more abundant. He was originally difficult to be restricted in the interior. Now he still has a precise three-pointer. As a center, he can average 3.1 three-pointers per game, so his opponent has no way to defend him.

If Wenban Yama had not played only 46 games due to injury last season, then the honor of the best defensive player would have been his. It is worth mentioning that even though Wenban missed so many games, he still won the block king with 176 blocks. The two consecutive block kings are enough to prove how outstanding he performed on the defensive end. A top young player like Wenban who is only 21 years old is completely qualified to change Antetokounmpo.

2: Jokic

Jokic is the most powerful player in the active NBA. Last season, he averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. He has a very big influence on the court, and even led the Nuggets, who had insufficient lineup depth to fight with the later champion Thunder to tiebreak. In the past five seasons, Jokic has won three MVPs, and even led the Nuggets to win the championship in 23 years, and has also won the honor of FMVP.

Jokic is only 30 years old, about the same age as Antetokounmpo. They are currently the big and small kings in the NBA. They are comparable in personal strength, but Jokic has a stronger ability to lead the team, and his teammates can often perform better. From this point of view, Jokic can not only replace Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks also have to join a few high-quality rotation players.

1: Alexander

Finally, Alexander. As the most successful player in the NBA last season, he won three honors: MVP + scoring champion + FMVP in a single season, and was comparable to NBA historical stars such as Jordan. In the past three seasons, Alexander has entered the first team three times in a row, leading the Thunder twice in the West. His personal ability and team leadership are unique, and Alexander is also a player with excellent performance on both offense and defense. On the court, he can not only influence the team with his own offense, but also use defense to drive his teammates. This is the key to the Thunder's winning the championship last season.

Alexander has the ability to replace Antetokounmpo alone, for the Thunder, Alexander is their absolute core. No matter how strong Antetokounmpo is, the Thunder will not send away players of Alexander's level.
