What is your boldest prediction in regard to Milwaukee's season
or any Buck as an individual?

My bold prediction for this season is that Giannis and Jabari
both shoot at least 30% form three. During the preseason, both
Antetokounmpo and Parker showed little hesitation when shooting
from long range. Their strokes look good and you can expect them
to connect on some open looks this season.

Well, I'm normally a man of reason and I carefully compose my
thoughts with great detail, but I will play along. My bold
prediction: the Bucks will have a twenty (or more) point per
game scorer this year.
Ready for a little trivia? Who can name the last Bucks player
to average twenty (or more) points per game for an entire
season? (someone suggests Brandon Jennings) WRONG! (someone
suggests Monta Ellis) WRONG AGAIN! (someone suggests Francisco
Elson) Francisco, you can't keep naming yourself for every Bucks
question I ask. (end scene)
The answer: Michael Redd, back in 2007-08 (Redd averaged 22.7
points per game that year and it was unfortunately his last
season of full health). Now I feel less confident naming who
will take up this task, but I'm going with Jabari Parker to just
get over that 20 PPG mark. If it happens, then hooray for
everyone (but especially me). If he falls short of it, then
I'll remind everyone that I'm not a magic 8-ball, contrary to
what many believe (okay, I made that last part up).

Giannis Antetokounmpo will lead the NBA in triple-doubles.
He had an outstanding second half of last season, and continuing
that success will not be easy to replicate. Russell Westbrook,
James Harden, and Draymond Green will also grab plenty of
triple-doubles this year, but with the Bucks adding more
shooting in the offseason, Giannis should see an increase in his
assist ratio on the whole.
Giannis finished last season with 5, and it is possible that he
could double, or even triple, that number this year.

Together, Giannis and Jabari will average over 40 points, 15
rebounds and 10 assists per game. Split them up as you see fit.

I'm going to go really bold with Malcolm Brogdon to lead the
team in steals. The rotation virtually guarantees that he's
going to get minutes as a first or second guard off the bench,
and with his combination of strength, pressure and high IQ, I
feel he'll lead the team in steals if he gets anywhere close to
the 18-20 minute per game mark.
(This answer may have been influenced by many of my first
thoughts already having been taken by the time I got to answer!)

Giannis will be an All-Star. Jabari will win the Most Improved
Player Award. End of Discussion.
