After considering some non-talent-based contributions Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, and Gary Trent Jr. could make, let’s quickly talk through how six other Bucks could marginally impact team success:
Delon Wright: point-of-attack defence
The offseason signing of Delon Wright was widely panned as a great move for Milwaukee; a career 35-percent three-point shooter who can do a bit off the bounce and, most importantly, guard at the point of attack! Perfect, no notes. Versatile two-way play was not something the team had much of last season. The role players were very one-dimensional. Beasley could shoot but couldn’t do much off the bounce or defend; Beverley could defend and do a bit off the bounce but couldn’t really shoot; Jackson could defend but had no offence whatsoever; Crowder didn’t really have any strengths by the end.
