1. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokoumpo stands first on the list of the next faces of the league. Giannis began his NBA career in 2013 after getting picked by the Milwaukee Bucks in the draft.

His debut season wasn’t that impressive, but as things progressed, he started improving. In 2016, he won the Most Improved Player of the Year Award, and since then, his performance has never declined. From his debut season to the present, his performances and stats have been top-notch.

Last season, he averaged 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. Undoubtedly, he stands first on the list.

2. Luka Doncic

The next star on the list is the future of the NBA, Luka Doncic. Doncic has been a magician for the league and has impressed everyone. This season, he became one of the players to score 70+ points in a game.

He is one of the best players in the league and can turn things around single-handedly.

3. Jayson Tatum

The Boston Celtics superstar, Jayson Tatum, might not be happy after finding himself third on the list. A few weeks ago, he said, “I feel like it is mine to take (face of the league)!”. He has been averaging 23.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game throughout his career.

Should Tatum move ahead on the list, or is third a proper place? Let us know your views in the comment section.

4. Ja Morant

The fourth player on the list is Ja Morant. The youngster has impressed everyone, including big names in the league. He is already the soul of the Memphis Grizzlies, and without him, the team looks average.

Morant is young, and if he performs consistently in the upcoming seasons, he can have the title next to his name.

5. Victor Wembanyama

The last player on the list is San Antonio Spurs youngster Victor Wembanyama. Recently, Alan Hahn said:

“He is going to be a guy that the whole league is now going to be relying on to take the mantle from LeBron James and Stephen Curry. He is going to be the face of the league.”

It is too early to keep his name with the title, but maybe in the future. If he consistently performs in the upcoming season and wins the NBA Championship, no one is stopping him from becoming the face of the NBA.
