Giannis Antetokounmpo was taken 15th in the 2013 NBA draft. Needless to say, he is clearly the best player to come out of that draft. While many others are productive NBA players, none have gotten close to Giannis. This crazy Giannis Antetokounmpo stats graphic shows how much better he has been than anyone in the 2013 draft class.

Crazy Giannis Antetokounmpo Stats
Since entering the league, Giannis has had 220 30-point games. The next closest person on the list from the 2013 draft is CJ McCollum with 84. In fact, if you add up the rest of the top 10 (which includes an additional person thanks to a tie at no. 10) you only get 180 30-point games. This is an insane feature of Giannis Antetokounmpo stats. What is even crazier is that seven players on this list were taken before Giannis. Victor Oladipo, Otto Porter Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Trey Burke, CJ McCollum, Michael Carter-Williams, and Kelly Olynyk were all selected before Giannis at no. 15.
Continuing Dominance
This is not the only crazy Giannis Antetokounmpo stats out there. It is hard to compare anyone to Giannis, as when his career is over, he will likely be one of the best to ever play the game. He recently eclipsed 15,000 points and has his sights set on breaking more records throughout his time playing. The 2013 draft class especially has some huge busts, which help Giannis look more dominant in the class. Anthony Bennett was a huge miss at no. 1. Shabazz Muhammed, taken one spot before Giannis, flamed out of the league quickly. It highlights how tough the drafting process is.
As his career goes on, this will not be the last Giannis Antetokounmpo stats that we are amazed at. The Bucks look to get back to their winning ways this week with a small homestand.
