The Difference Mike Budenholzer Has Made in Milwaukee

The Bucks have been a team on the rise for years, but a number of setbacks have slowed their progress. Jason Kidd's leadership, Malcom Brogdon's injuries and other issues have all hurt them in years past.

But now, with Mike Budenholzer in the fold, Milwaukee could finally be on the right path. Ben Golliver and Andrew Sharp of the Open Floor podcast discuss the Bucks' future.

Andrew Sharp: Coach Mike Budenholzer was already great at overachieving with a bunch of above-average players who weren't necessarily real superstars. There's that one year where I think five Hawks made the All-Star Game, which was an accomplishment, but also was a damning blight on the Eastern Conference and the state of the basketball there over the last 10 years.
