One mantra that tends to always apply for Milwaukee Bucks fans is to expect the unexpected. The Bucks have been weird lately, both in good and bad ways.

Every year, Zach Lowe writes a piece about his crazy predictions for the coming NBA season. This piece is ripped off directly from Lowe’s idea–it’s just localized to Milwaukee.

There are rules here, even in the craziness. Completely outlandish things are ruled out: Rashad Vaughn won’t be MVP, Jabari Parker won’t become a Defensive MVP and Matthew Dellavedova isn’t going to break Stephen Curry‘s three-point record from last season.

These predictions are somewhat out there though, so please do not take them as things that will certainly happen. None of them could, or all of them could, but they’re far from guarantees.

The final rule is that none of Lowe’s predictions will be regurgitated. The only Bucks-focused prediction he made this year is that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be an All-Star, so that won’t be one of the five included here.
