Milwaukee Bucks: Looking at Last Year’s Departed Players
By Adam Coffman
Overview
Out of the eight departed members of the 2015-2016 Bucks, just three are currently under contract with another franchise. Two are currently playing in the NBA D-League, one is stationed overseas, and Chris Copeland and Greivis Vasquez may have seen the end of their NBA careers.
Not mentioned above is OJ Mayo, who as many know was disqualified from the NBA for the next two years due to a drug-related violation and is therefore ineligible to sign with another team.
On the whole, these profiles should highlight exactly how much the Bucks have improved on a personnel level. The Bucks current bench unit would almost certainly garner much more value on the open market than the players mentioned above.
