Wrap-Up

A cornerstone player is a rare asset to have, especially for a small-market team like the Bucks, and if they believe they have found that player in Giannis Antetokounmpo, that belief shows itself in many cases.

Virtually every issue we have looked at centers around Giannis in its application: Miles Plumlee was re-signed largely based on his fit with Antetokounmpo at the point guard, Jabari Parker figures to play much better when paired with the Greek, and Matthew Dellavedova may start purely based upon his schematic fit within a point-forward lineup.

This is a great sign for Bucks fans – it shows clear focus and direction from team executives, rather than a jumbled mess of personnel moves independent of one another.

Of course, should Giannis or a lineup built around him struggle, the team may have little to lean on, but at this point the team’s trend has to be considered upwards and fans have no reason not to be optimistic headed into the next season.

Final verdicts will come down to the coaching staff and performance on the floor, but for implementing the right moves, all we can do is hope.
