Question: Who is the Bucks’ leader?
The Bucks have been one of the most fun young teams to watch develop since Jason Kidd has taken over. They’ve played with a chip on their shoulder and an attitude of “Why not us?” They’re scrappy and defense first and played their way into the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
But my biggest question heading into this question: Who will lead this team?
Since they’re a very young team, they’ve mostly been led by committee thus far. If they want to make the jump from darkhorse to contender, their established leaders need to stand out. Jabari Parker showed flashes of leadership prior to his season ending injury. Will he step back into that role? Could Giannis Antetokounmpo be a vocal leader? How about new addition Greg Monroe? Who really is Khris Middleton?
These questions will all be focal points as the Bucks determine their leadership.
