Definitely a better overall team than last year.
I don't agree Bucks are one of the deepest. Bucks are definitely top heavy with their big 3.
I remember last season, bucks had a huge problem with guards and Brook Lopez was basically unplayable for big stretches in the playoffs.
DiVincenzo was out and that was a huge problem. Which left guys like Connaughton (who was serviceable), Forbes and corpse of Jeff Teague getting important playoff minutes.
Over the off season, they added Hill and Allen at the guard position.
While subtracting Forbes and Jeff Teague.
It's definitely an upgrade. But I think George Hill could be close to being over the hill. Have to bank on all the guards being healthy or you're in the same position as last year again.
You could literally say that about any team in the league. Depth relies on health...
when healthy, The Bucks are much deeper and addressed a lot of the issues you laid out. btw, Brook Lopez averaged like 30 minutes a game until the Finals when we went small and Portis was playing amazing.
You might be thinking about Portis. He sat until coming on later in the playoffs.
