Since it became clear that Milwaukee was losing Jevon Carter and Joe Ingles in free agency over two months ago, there’s been a not insignificant amount of handwringing about the team’s ballhandling depth behind Jrue Holiday. It’s fair to be a touch concerned about this, given the team’s playmaking difficulties the past two seasons, especially in the postseason, though perhaps a full year of Khris Middleton and a new coach ameliorates that somewhat. Recall that the Bucks won a title with only Jeff Teague behind Holiday on the point guard depth chart, and he played somewhat scarce minutes.
However, I think a broad consensus of Bucks fans would prefer the team add another point guard, even a less-heralded one as opposed to a bigger name who could take some of Holiday’s responsibilities in the playoffs, where he’s been pretty erratic on offense.
