The Milwaukee Bucks finished with a 38-44 record last season. That’s not too bad, but it’s definitely not good. Their leading scorer last year was Monta Ellis. Well, he is gone now, he signed with the Dallas Mavericks earlier in this offseason. Their 2nd best scorer was Brandon Jennings last year. Well, he was traded to the Pistons earlier in this offseason. Their best players are gone now. They seem to be a rebuilding team now, just like the 76ers. They are an extremely young team, and they look like they are set up for a good future.

Bucks 2013-14 MVP Prediction: Larry Sanders: Last year with the Bucks, Larry Sanders averaged 9.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game. That’s really good. The 24 year old center is one of the best players in the game when it comes to rebounding and blocking shots. He is also very good at defense. Based on all of these stats, you can see that he is a very dominant player. He is good at everything that a center needs to be good at. He is 24 years old, and is already an amazing player. Sanders is going to be a good player in this league for years to come.

3 Players That Bucks Fans Need To Look Out For:

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo: Antetokounmpo was the 15th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He is a 6 foot 9 shooting guard. No, that’s not a typo. This guy is huge. It’s very rare to see a shooting guard this big. He is only 18 years old, which is also very odd. He is definitely a unique fella. I am really interested in seeing how he does this season. I think that he will do well, and I think that he will have a tremendous career in the NBA.
  • Larry Sanders: As I have mentioned before, I really think that Larry Sanders is a great player. I think that he will win an MVP someday. The reason that Bucks fans need to look out for him is that he needs to continue this success. It would be a very bad sign if he started regressing this year. He needs to follow up last year’s success with some more success. I think that he is a player to build around for the Bucks, and he needs to prove that with a good season this year.
  • O.J. Mayo: Last year with Dallas, Mayo averaged 15.3 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.3 rebounds per game. That’s pretty good. He is only 25 years old, and has a lot left in the tank. I think that he could be an important piece to the Bucks rebuilding process, and that’s what he needs to prove this season.

Bucks Season Prediction: 36-46: I think that this Bucks team has some young talent, that’s why I have them winning 36 games. Some people consider them to be in the tank-for-Wiggins sweepstakes, but I don’t think they’re that bad. This team is filled with a lot of players with a lot to prove, and this season is when they need to do it.
