Sprinkle in the always-steady, rarely-more-than-that Taurean Prince (43.9% from 3-point land last season) and potential bargain-bin find Amir Coffey (40.9% from deep for the Clippers), and the Bucks could have a fairly formidable frontcourt, all things considered. The questions, though, lie in the backcourt, where losing Lillard leaves the Bucks without a proven, experienced top scoring threat or playmaker.

Rivers recently suggested the re-signed Kevin Porter Jr. will start at one of the guard spots. It’s a significant vote of confidence for the 25-year-old, who flashed explosive talent as a rookie in Cleveland before finding himself traded to the Rockets following a locker-room outburst and who developed into a high-scoring starter on bad Rockets teams before being arrested in a domestic violence incident that resulted in him exiting Houston and the NBA at large. After playing in Greece for the 2023-24 season, Porter Jr. reached a plea deal, signed a free-agent deal with the Clippers and landed in Milwaukee in a three-team deal at February’s trade deadline.
