The Milwaukee Bucks have drastically shaken up their roster over the last few days, and there almost certainly aren't done. After their out-of-left-field move for Myles Turner, Milwaukee still has several key holes on the roster, and they need to patch them over the next few months. That said, let us analyze the current depth chart (excluding the two-ways) and assess what changes are needed.
Milwaukee's depth chart after Myles Turner signing
Point guard: Kevin Porter Jr.
Shooting guard: Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green (Non-guaranteed), Gary Harris, Andre Jackson Jr. (Non-guaranteed)
Small forward: Taurean Prince
Power forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma, Tyler Smith
Center: Myles Turner, Bobby Portis, Jericho Sims
As evidenced by the depth chart, Milwaukee is short on bodies at two key positions, point guard and small forward. It likely won't remain that way for long.
Regarding the point guard slot, it feels like only a matter of time before Milwaukee brings back guard Ryan Rollins on a new standard deal. He'd be a quality backup or even give Porter a run for his money as the starter. It also wouldn't be too shocking if Milwaukee pursued a recognizable veteran, such as Malcolm Brogdon or Russell Westbrook, to add some experience to the room.
Things get trickier at small forward. The free agent market is dry, and it's unlikely that Milwaukee looks to pursue a reunion with Jae Crowder or Torrey Craig. Instead, it feels like the Bucks should turn to the trade market. There's been chatter in New Orleans about Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones being up for grabs, and either would help. The same goes for Miami's Andrew Wiggins.
Even if they acquire a player, it wouldn't be surprising if the Milwaukee Bucks utilized smaller lineups at times and rolled with Green, Trent, or Harris as small forwards. Even Jackson, who boasts the tallest height at 6-foot-6, could earn some time there. On that note, Green and Jackson currently do not have their contracts guaranteed, but they will almost certainly be back next year.
If the Milwaukee Bucks could add one more ball-handling guard and a small forward via free agency or trade, this roster would look much more complete.
Also, there has been no concrete decision made about Bogoljub Markovic, the second-round pick the Milwaukee Bucks just selected. He sounds like a player who wants to be with the team this year, but a year overseas to begin his career is not out of the question. If he gets his wish, Markovic will take one of those roster spots.
The Milwaukee Bucks have work to do. This won't be their opening night roster, and after seeing the team acquire Myles Turner seemingly out of thin air, who knows what they do next.
