Conclusion

Of course, there will be other members of the Bucks that start games at some point or another, but simply judging on influence, the players covered previously will have the most to say about what the Bucks’ season looks like.

The average age of the aforementioned players is only 24.4 years, which underscores how young even the Bucks most influential and tasked players are. Consistency may be an issue for the group as a whole,

Not mentioned is shooting guard Khris Middleton, who likely be missing the entire season due to a hamstring injury. However, this does not mean his duties for the season are complete. Along with rehabbing, Middleton will be tasked with providing leadership for younger players on the ascent, particularly Rashad Vaughn and Malcolm Brogdon.

As one of the club’s premier talents, Khris has influence among the team’s dynamic even when not playing, so an upbeat and positive Middleton will go a long way towards keeping spirits up in what could be a tough season.
