The Milwaukee Bucks have a big opportunity to make a splash in the upcoming season. Here’s why the need to capitalize on it.

The Milwaukee Bucks are at a critical juncture of their development in the upcoming 2018-19 NBA season. As of now, they’ve made enough progress in the last couple of years to keep superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo happy and the fanbase at bay. However, their growth must continue.

Ever since 2015-16, the Bucks have steadily increased their win total and will look to make it four straight this season. They began by winning 33 games that year, jumped to 42 the following (2016-17) before taking a mini-step forward to 44 this past season.

Unfortunately, an additional two games in the upcoming campaign won’t be enough to satisfy the team nor the fans. Everyone is expecting the squad to take a substantial leap forward, aiming for their first 50 win season since 2000-01.

Even with an increase in wins, this season is more important than anybody realizes. The young minds of the Bucks’ are still getting molded and the future has many outcomes depending on how things go this year. Let’s take a look at five reasons why it’s such a critical campaign.
