Parker Fleming: (a very hesitant) UNDER. This team is the most intriguing team out east. With the GREEK FREAK manning the point god position, this team has become interesting. Khris Middleton is the best player that nobody talks about. Jabari Parker came into his own last season. They added shooting through Delly and Mizra Teletovic. Oh, they added the “19-year old” Thon Maker. Now that Khris Middleton is hurt, they should dump Michael Carter-Williams and Greg Monroe for shooting (Gallinari? Terrence Ross?). Right now, take the under, but in a few years, I’m willing to bet we will see a Milwaukee/Minnesota NBA Finals matchup.

Taylor Buckley: UNDER. Before the terrible news of losing Middleton, I was going to pick over. But losing one of the only shooters on the team will create loads of problems for the Bucks.

Ryan Snellings: OVER. I’m high on the Greek Freak. For years, he’s amazed everyone, but he hasn’t had a true breakout year. Adding Delly and Teletovic will give them some much needed depth and Jabari Parker’s second year back from injury should prove fruitful. They’ll be in the NBA Playoffs again and probably out of the first round. 

Ryan Schmitz: UNDER. This pains me after the Middleton news as I thought the Bucks would be dark horses to get into the NBA Playoffs as a potential 5-6 seed, but I don’t see them getting there without Middleton. Losing your best and possible only shooter will hurt this team more than people will think. Watching the two-man show, Giannis and Jabari, will be fun to watch at least.

Ian Pierno: UNDER. Khris Middleton is done, so getting to watch 30 minutes of Matthew Dellavedova every night just made the Bucks a must-watch team for me.

Jacob Collins: UNDER. This is in spite of my love of Jason Kidd.
