21. Milwaukee Bucks

Starting Five: Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Greg Monroe

Starting Five Rating: 16

In another surprise, I was actually shocked to learn that the Bucks only have the 21st best staring five in the NBA. Though, considering that they have three players on their roster that are only beginning to scratch the surface of their potential, you can see why.

A huge part in taking the next step this season will fall on the shoulders of Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who are both expected to be key players for this Bucks team this season. Add in their huge key free agent signing, Greg Monroe, and the Bucks should be a lot better than this Starting Five Rating.

We didn’t even get to Jabari Parker.
