St. Francis — The vibe surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks is nothing like it was 365 days ago.

Fast forward to the team's annual media day Monday at its training facility, and the buzz was palpable. Owners Wes Edens, Marc Lasry and Jamie Dinan took the stage to answer reporters' questions. New broadcasters Gus Johnson and Marques Johnson were on hand and chatting with players and team officials.
Jabari Parker was back in uniform, ready to return from the knee injury that sidelined him for most of last season.
