Khris Middleton - Play 65-plus games
Injuries have held Khris Middleton back over the last two years, having appeared in 88 regular season games. After offseason surgery on both ankles, the hope is that Middleton is ready to roll when camp begins. If so, staying healthy will be his primary objective as he aims to help the Bucks win. Appearing in 65 or more regular season games would be a huge boost to Milwaukee's title odds.
Damian Lillard - Make an All-NBA team
Damian Lillard should have plenty of fuel entering next season with all of the doubt surrounding him after a hit-or-miss first year in Milwaukee. If Lillard really wants to silence his doubters, one thing the star guard can do outside of winning a championship is earn an All-NBA nod. Earning a spot on one of the teams would certainly mean he upped his play from a year ago and is helping the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo - Win NBA Finals MVP
After missing considerable time in consecutive postseason runs, Giannis Antetokounmpo should be motivated this coming season. Like Lillard, he has plenty of doubters questioning whether or not he can lead the Milwaukee Bucks to glory once again. Winning NBA Finals MVP, the second of his career, would be the ultimate way to silence those nonbelievers.
Stay tuned for more Milwaukee Bucks analysis.
