Milwaukee Bucks

Is Jason Kidd part of the problem? 

As Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to make unprecedented steps in his progression, the Milwaukee Bucks as a team continue to leave much to be desired. Even after trading for Eric Bledsoe earlier this season, the Bucks are still floundering around the middle of the East.

The Bucks are currently 6th in the conference, and have played well under their potential. Question is, what is really the problem?

Is it that that team isn’t as talented as some of their counterparts in the East? Is it Jason Kidd, who has received some criticism as of late? The Bucks need to figure that out, before it’s too late.
