In 2023-24, the young Milwaukee Bucks did not get much of an opportunity to spread their wings.

Once Doc Rivers took over as coach mid-season, he primarily relied on the veterans. It felt like he did so because he didn't have much time to get to know the more inexperienced players and wanted to use players who were used to the NBA life. That wasn't a decision that many fans agreed with, but it is what it is at this point.

Now, with the Bucks clearly needing a dosage of youth, these young players will have the opportunity to work their way up in the ranks and potentially break into Rivers' rotation from the jump next season. It all starts with putting in work to improve this off-season, and three of Milwaukee's youngsters, Chris Livingston, Andre Jackson Jr. and MarJon Beauchamp, have all gotten to work.

All three have posted on their social medias that they are in Athens, Greece. One would be safe to assume that they will be working out with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is no stranger to bringing his teammates to Greece to workout in the NBA off-season. This is an incredibly welcoming sign for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The young Milwaukee Bucks are building chemistry

It's great to see the young Bucks not only working out but, more than likely, working out with the team's best player in Antetokounmpo. If they will play a key role for Milwaukee next season, building up that rapport with the Finals MVP will be crucial. Of course, Antetokounmpo will also not take it easy on the younger players and push them to get better every step of the way.

All three of these players have to tools to help this Bucks team next season. They're all 6-foot-6 wings who have impressive athleticism and can provide a needed dose of defense. This summer will be vital for them, as if they take it seriously and work, there's a good chance they could be full-time rotational players for Rivers next season, especially with the team's limited wiggle room to improve the roster.

It's unclear if A.J. Green, the other young player for the Bucks who could be quite useful next season, is with the crew in Greece. If he is, that will make this all the better, rounding up all of the youth under contract to get together and work tirelessly on their respective games.
