The Bucks will be a top 3 seed in the East
Through the first week, Mike Budenholzer and the Milwaukee Bucks look like a different team. And Giannis Antetokounmpo looks like an absolute monster. As expected, he looks better than ever and this Bucks team has quietly had an ideal first week.
Apart from the success of Giannis, Khris Middleton has picked up where he left off last season. He’s averaging 21 points, 6.5 rebounds and four assists per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and an absurd 53 percent shooting from 3-point range (7.5 attempts per game).
Middleton could be the wildcard for this team moving forward. If he continues on this tear, this team will take the next step this season. The Bucks have looked mightily impressive thus far, and I don’t think they’ll fall off that much moving forward. Believe in the Deer.
