But 46 wins is a bit comical unless Giannis misses a pretty big chunk of games. Simply no longer having Beasely on the roster is probably worth at least +4 games from last season...lol.

But anyone who thinks our team wins 46 games even with good health is smoking crack.

If only Johnson had Green to pass to in summer league, we wouldn't have looked so dysfunctional offensively. Cuz Magic was running the offense well when he had teammates who could score halfway decently. Something to look out for.
As for Green specifically, I've seen situations when he looks like he can create his own shot ok & others where he's lost in that department. He's not a slasher, but maybe has something in the ball fake/hesitation to mid-range j.

There's that, but he always looks damn good finding space off the ball. Once he got hot he was working those give and gos, DHOs, the toss backs. Dude is a **** flamethrower and nobody can get to his release point. I like the Trent signing but I really think Green earned that chance. Good problem to have, ultimately.

Average wins: 46.7
As I noted in my piece on the most likely teams to improve and decline, age is naturally a key predictor. Milwaukee had the league's second-oldest roster last season when weighted by minutes played, younger than only the LA Clippers. Based on that factor, it's no surprise Milwaukee comes in slightly below last year's total of 49 wins.

Only for him to log a combined 11 minutes in the first 5 games of the actual season....lol.

Ridiculous what a big deal he was as a prep and absolutely merited the accolade as greatest Wisconsin HS'er of all time.
Fox Valley legend. RIP Big Joe.

This right here and dont be shocked if AJ Johnson gets minutes this year you can’t teach speed and athleticism like he has. Doc will play the players that deserve minutes.
