Of all the free agent signings this offseason, Wesley Matthews looms as the one presumed to offer the Milwaukee Bucks the most production, and by extension, the most value. Given his minimum contract and the belief he should slot into the starting lineup to begin the season, this seemed like an inevitably from the start of this exercise. While it wasn’t apparent how much higher than holdover Bucks he may rise, sixth seems about right in my mind.
With the presumption of production also comes the pressure of expectations. Matthews has the largest shoes to fill with Malcolm Brogdon walking this offseason to join the Indiana Pacers.
