If the Milwaukee Bucks are serious about approaching the 50-win mark, and then going on to win a first playoff series since 2001, there are a number of problems that new head coach Mike Budenholzer will have to rectify.
The most obvious areas in need of improvement come in the form of constructing a more conservative, stingy defense, and instilling a more modern, fluid offense, but below the surface there are other challenges remaining too.
For much of Jason Kidd‘s time as head coach, the consensus was that the Bucks had issues with beating, and getting motivated to play perceived lesser teams, while arguably being able to over-perform from time-to-time against more talented opponents.
