facing the upcoming new season, are the bucks still a favorite to win the championship?

considering the increasing age of the core players and the unbalanced team lineup after the trade, the bucks' subsequent championship possibility is not higher than in previous years. and considering that the team's championship window still exists, how to maximize the value of the existing lineup at this stage is the first problem that the team's head coach needs to solve in the new season.

focusing on this central idea, we first discuss the three core players of the team. strictly speaking, these players all had certain problems last season, but overall they were harmless and only needed a little adjustment to raise the team's ceiling to another level, and even the championship trophy was not a distant thing.

the first is antetokounmpo. as a player who averaged nearly 30 points per game and a triple-double last season, antetokounmpo actually doesn’t have many shortcomings. if we must strictly investigate, we can only point out a relatively obvious one: the quality of pick-and-roll coverage.
