Top 25 Under 25: Andreas Athanasiou arrives at 5

Andreas Athanasiou comes in ranked at #5 in the 2018 rankings in his last year as part of these rankings. He will be graduating to the status of grizzled over 25 veteran next year or something to that effect. Last year he ranked #3 and his fall is likely a result of an infusion of new talent. But also expectations for AA may be a bit more tempered than they were previously given his performance last season and what many are perceiving his ceiling may be. With his more advanced age and experience he is more of a known commodity than other players on this list.
