It was a bit of a rollercoaster getting there, but our first poll rung true in the end with Zaza Pachulia voted off as 8th among all our qualified candidates for the best Milwaukee Bucks contracts of the last decade. I’m not all that surprised to see the Georgian giant get voted off first, but one of the reasons I thought he merited inclusion was the wealth of distaste for his contract initially. The leading narrative at the time seemed to be that it was a clear overpay (I certainly thought that), but Zaza provided plenty of serviceable minutes over the two years in Milwaukee, and was a central element of the team’s emergence under Jason Kidd’s first year of tutelage.
