Chicago Bulls - Javonte Green

In a perfect world, the Bucks could make a legitimate play for soon to be free agent Patrick Williams of the Chicago Bulls. Yet, those odds are incredibly slim, given that he'll be a restricted free agent - one would think they would have interest in retaining him - so the more realistic target for Milwaukee is Javonte Green.

Green's time with the Bulls was brief, as he came aboard at the end of the season, but he did not let that stop him from making an impact. In 12 games, he averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per matchup, shooting 60 percent from the floor and 37 percent from 3-point range. It's a small sample size, certainly, but those are undeniably captivating numbers produced by Green.

The 6-foot-4, 30-year-old wing could give the Bucks a jack of all trades in the second unit. Need some athleticism on the floor? He's got it. Need a switchable defender? He's there. Need a scoring lift? He could provide assistance. Pat Connaughton has played this role for the Bucks in years past, but with his struggles persisting over the past few years, perhaps they could go in another direction.

After playing just 12 games this past season, Green won't be due for a raise, placing him firmly within the Milwaukee Bucks' price range.
