After making the NBA Playoffs last year, the Milwaukee Bucks wanted to make a splash during free agency. They signed Greg Monroe, who was considered one of the best available free agents, to fortify their front court.
The Bucks won 33 games, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference standings.
Obviously, things didn’t go according to plan for the Bucks nor Monroe.
Milwaukee lacked a true point guard and the addition of Monroe’s scoring wasn’t enough to compensate for the loss of perimeter shooting. The young players hit rough patches and the team, much like the Washington Wizards, never got into a rhythm.
