17. Milwaukee Bucks

Starting Backcourt: Matthew Dellavedova and Khris Middleton

This backcourt could be rated even higher if head coach Jason Kidd decides to start wunderkind Giannis Antetokounmpo at point guard permanently.

For now, though, let’s just assume he’s starting at small forward and new addition Matthew Dellavedova is assuming starting point duties.

Even with Delly starting, this Milwaukee backcourt is still very promising. Middleton is an excellent scorer (18.2 ppg last season) and Delly is a defensive pest and reliable three-point shooter when he’s open.

The future is bright in Milwaukee and the backcourt is no exception.
