Milwaukee Bucks: How Marvin Williams’ addition impacts existing frontcourt depth
With the Milwaukee Bucks officially bringing in Marvin Williams off the buyout market, how will his addition impact the team’s current frontcourt depth contributors?
The Milwaukee Bucks made quite the splash immediately after the trade deadline with the addition of veteran forward Marvin Williams following his buyout from the Charlotte Hornets.
The 15-year veteran brings a level of savvy and experience to a Bucks team that is increasingly well equipped to bounce back from last year’s Conference Finals collapse. And with a complementary skill set to boot that fits in with the Bucks’ ethos, Williams makes a deep Bucks team that much deeper from that standpoint.

And while Williams has yet to make his debut after officially joining the squad Monday night, the 33-year-old made it clear he’s happy with any role he’ll have with the league’s best team as Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel relayed:
"“Guys are not going to have to adjust to playing with me,” he said. “I’ll adjust to playing with everybody in that locker room. I’m totally about winning. … When winning is the only thing that matters, everything else comes easy. “For me it’s not about minutes, it’s not about shots, it’s not about rebounds, it’s just about how can I just help? If tonight is not the night that I can help, then I’m perfectly fine with that too. I’m just going to, like I said, get in where I fit in and just try to enjoy the ride.”"
But for as much as Williams doesn’t want to disrupt the chemistry this Bucks team has built, his presence and inevitable role within the rotation will change things as we currently know them.
With that, we’ll dig into exactly that and much more by looking at how Williams’ arrival could alter the current shape of the Bucks’ frontcourt depth.
