It’s a statuesque order for the Milwaukee Bucks if they want to repeat their legendary championship run in 2021. The Eastern Conference has improved significantly since their last title win, with the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers among the favorites to make a stern title run.
The Bucks will still have a good chance of making a deep playoff run with this star duo. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are among the league’s best energetic scorers, and either one can take on scoring duties whenever they’re on the court.
But winning in a league as competitive as the NBA takes more than just two star players. The rest of the team must do their part if they want to hang another banner at Fiserv Arena.
While players like Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez naturally make the coaching staff and fans expect more, the second unit also has to do its part. One analyst makes an clever guess as to how the Bucks bench will fare in the upcoming season.
Analyst makes bold prediction for Milwaukee Bucks bench ahead of 2024-25 season
Dalton Sell from “Behind the Buck” wrote a detailed article on what the Bucks bench should do if they want the team to be successful in the upcoming season.
I want to sell Bobby Portis to set the tone for the bench, although he doesn’t think he has what it takes to become a defensive pillar of the team:
Portis needs to set the tone with rebounding, scoring, and shooting from distance; at this point, the chances of him turning things around defensively seem slim. If Bobby Portis can do that while maintaining his composure and not getting sacked in key moments, there’s a chance he’ll break through this year and finally earn Sixth Man of the Year honors for himself.
He exerted direct pressure, being a defensive pillar Prince of the Bullarms. While it may take some time for the former Minnesota Timberwolves forward to get used to Doc Rivers’ system, he has to make up for Portis’ unpredictable nature.
Sell also stressed the need AJ Green to improve his skills in long-range shooting. He expects that Andre Jackson Jr. also to provide defensive cover. Finally, Delon Wright would have to do a lot as a second unit general.
It will be a long season for the Milwaukee Bucks. Last season showed how tough the East is becoming. However, they could break into the top four if Bobby Portis and the rest of the bench take a step forward.
