Milwaukee Bucks
Record: 30-44
After the unexpected emergence of the Milwaukee Bucks last season and the addition of Greg Monroe, expectations were at an all-time high for Jason Kidd‘s young squad heading into this season.
However, the team didn’t exactly hit it off. Pieces didn’t fit perfectly and Michael Carter-Williams‘ inability to play point guard for this team didn’t help any. After shuffling his lineup throughout the year – which led to benching Monroe and Carter-Williams – Kidd finally decided that the best point guard on his team wasn’t even a point guard. It was Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Still, the damage was done. The Bucks, who entered this year with the expectation of potentially being a top 4 team in the East, simply fell short this season.
