Milwaukee Bucks
Record: 15-6
Grade: A
It’s hard to find anything negative to really say about the Milwaukee Bucks. Through the first quarter of this season, the Bucks have raced out to one of the best records in the Eastern Conference and the advanced metrics believe that their recent play is to stay.
Led by new head coach Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks have been great of both offense and defense so far this season, something that they simply couldn’t say in years’ past. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a monster and continues to get better, while Khris Middleton is looking more and more like a viable second option in the NBA.
This team could use an added shooter or two for the stretch run, but I have a hard time believing that this team is going to fall off so much where they won’t finish with a top 4 record in the East.
