MILWAUKEE, WI – APRIL 20: Eric Bledsoe /

3. Eric Bledsoe

For all the fuss surrounding Eric Bledsoe on the Bucks last season, he turned in the most efficient scoring year of his career. He set career-highs in effective field goal percentage (54 percent) and true shooting percentage (58.5). That’s not bad for someone who was often criticized for his play on both ends of the floor.

The hope is, that with one more year playing alongside mostly the same players, that Bledsoe will thrive even more in Milwaukee in Year two. Of course, it also helps that Jabari Parker is gone and there is a clear pecking order on the Bucks with Bledsoe in the three spot in permanent marker.

Getting the ball out of Bledsoe’s hands more often and moving it around the floor will also help. Far too often last year, Bledsoe would stand and dribble in place while trying to create. Now he’ll be able to catch a swing pass and quickly take advantage of a defense that isn’t set yet. It should be an even better season for Bledsoe in 2018.
