18. Milwaukee Bucks

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Greg Monroe

The Bucks are as strange, fun and wonderful mystery. The Greek Freak might play point guard at times, but will still be at small forward for the time being. Giannis is a stat filling freak and a match-up nightmare. His outside shooting needs improvement, but he’s only 21 and his ceiling is beyond high.

Parker had some growing pains in his first full season after his rookie campaign ACL tear. His game is still developing into the NBA game. The Greg Monroe experiment hasn’t played out too well and Monroe has expressed interest in not being in Milwaukee any longer and I believe the Bucks organization feels the same, but at 15 PPG and 8 RPG last year he is a solid player with plenty left in the tank.

The bench big men is an interesting group with John Henson, Rookie Thon Maker, Miles Plumlee and Mirza Teletovic. So much upside on this Bucks squad, but not quite there yet.

Next: No. 17
