Conclusion
Moving forward without Middleton will be tough for the young Bucks, but it is a must. The team still has plenty of young talent that is eager to take the league by storm.
Giannis and Jabari definitely have high hopes for this year, but it is not just them. With players like Vaughn, Brogdon, and MCW all under 25-years-old, there are plenty of players ready to make their mark.
Adding a mentor like Jason Terry can only help, as each young player has plenty of learning left to do. For a team who were hurt by a lack of veteran leadership last year, Terry will look to offer a calming presence alongside the likes of Mirza Teletovic and Steve Novak.
