Milwaukee Bucks: Predicting the Bucks All-Time Team on NBA 2K18
By Ti Windisch
Coach/Bench
Although Larry Costello was Milwaukee’s coach during the title run, we’re going to go with Don Nelson as the Bucks’ All-Time Team coach. Nelson oversaw an extended run of success in Milwaukee, and he did it without a transcendent player like Kareem on his team. (No offense to Marques or Squid!)
Now, for the bench. ’84-85 Moncrief is a perfect relief combo guard who could spell Oscar or Allen, and ’97-98 Big Dog and ’72-73 Bob Dandridge should be there too. To add another guard, let’s give a nod to history and throw in ’68-69 Jon McGlocklin, Milwaukee’s first All-Star.
To go with our two guards and two forwards, let’s throw Andrew Bogut a bone and include him at center. The Aussie was unbelievable defensively in 2010-11, and he’ll anchor the bench defensively, even though this unit might not need much help to be stout on that end.

Next: Milwaukee Bucks greatest 15 man roster
They may not be the Lakers, but these All-Time Bucks make for a fearsome team. Even if the All-Time Team Milwaukee Bucks on NBA 2K18 end up being slightly different than these projected lineups, there’s no doubt that it’ll be a blast to play with those teams.
