Milwaukee Bucks: Pros and cons of potential Damyean Dotson signing

With the Milwaukee Bucks having a rumored interest in Knicks wing Damyean Dotson, what would the pros and cons of a potential deal be?

The shape of the 2020 NBA offseason is very much uncertain at present, but for the Milwaukee Bucks and the rest of the league’s teams that doesn’t mean that planning for free agency and the draft are on hold.

Behind the scenes, work will remain in full flow, preparing for any potential resumption dates when the coronavirus pandemic eventually subsides, and it’s possible that the Bucks could have multiple roster spots to fill given their host of expiring contracts.

On that front, the first notable rumor of Milwaukee interest in a player from elsewhere emerged last week, when Marc Berman of the New York Post suggested that the Bucks were one of three teams that were expected to show interest in Knicks wing Damyean Dotson.

My colleague Jordan Treske rounded up the details of that report, and took a quick look at Dotson’s game at that time, but given Milwaukee’s rumored interest he’s a player that would seem to warrant a deeper dive.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of a potential deal for Dotson, if the Bucks do in fact decide to make a move for him once free agency eventually rolls around.
