6. Markelle Fultz

Will Delon Wright be Milwaukee's backup point guard or could he possibly be the starting two guard next to Damian Lillard? At the time of this writing, it's uncertain. If the Bucks want a clear-cut backup point guard, one of the more high-risk, high-reward names on the market is Markelle Fultz, who just wrapped up an up-and-down season with the Magic.

At 6-foot-4 with a 6-foot-9 wingspan, Fultz has the build to be a quality perimeter defender at the guard position, something the Bucks would embrace with open arms. His offense, particularly his outside shot, are iffy, but there's no denying the defensive potential he brings. Fultz also has a long injury history, but if he can stay healthy, he could beef up this second unit defensively.

5. Patrick Beverley

The Milwaukee Bucks know what Patrick Beverley can bring to the table. Having traded a pick to get him this past trade deadline, they gave up a valuable asset to get him, and it would make sense if the team wanted to bring him back for another season to maximize their return. His experience with this group could certainly be a nice bonus, as the chemistry is already there.

On the basketball court, Beverley could fill Milwaukee's backcourt point guard opening while bringing a stout defensive presence. Both Beverley and Wright could spend time defending opposing guards, shoring up this team's defensive efforts. If they could convince Beverley to return on a minimum deal, it wouldn't be the worst move to beef up their backcourt.
