Antetokounmpo is coming off his second consecutive MVP award, and he was also voted Defensive Player of the Year. He became just the fifth player in NBA history to have won both awards -- after Michael Jordan, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson. In just 30.4 minutes per game, Antetokounmpo averaged 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 55.3 percent from the field. Despite the ridiculous counting stats, Antetokounmpo ranked just 13th in eight-category fantasy leagues on a per-game basis due to his abysmal free-throw shooting (63.3 percent). The woes from the charity stripe will ultimately cap his fantasy value -- except in points leagues -- unless he finds a way to improve. Banking on that improvement and drafting the MVP in the first half of the first round will be the path many fantasy managers, understandably, take. But, as counter-intuitive as it may sound, there are safer players this high on the board -- whose free-throw shooting doesn't come with such baggage.
