The reigning NBA champs will look to defend their title with the same cast of characters in the 2021-2022 season. Their ringer in Giannis Antetokounmpo is back and that’s good news for the Bucks because no one has found a way to slow him down. Khris Middleton is also back to be the second option as he is great at ball handling and shooting. The Bucks also have Jrue Holiday back and he might have been the key to the Bucks’ championship as he provides elite defense on the perimeter as well as valuable offensive efficiency at the point guard position. Now, Milwaukee did lose P.J. Tucker who will be missed for his defensive ability, but that’s nothing that guys like Pat Connaughton, Donte DiVincenzo, Brook Lopez, George Hill, Jeff Teague, and newly signed Grayson Allen can’t fix. Milwaukee is the favorite coming out of the east and they have a great shot at repeating as NBA champions.
