3. A Full Year of Bledsoe

On November 7th of 2017, the Bucks made a big move and traded for point guard Eric Bledsoe for Center, Greg Monroe. He played 71 games for the team and made a big impact on both sides of the court. He gave the offense good passing, with solid scoring inside and outside the paint. And on the defensive end, he was scrappy and maintained two steals per game last season. He brings a lot to the table, and it’s going to be exciting what he does for a full season in Milwaukee.

A point guard has been a problem for the Bucks for a little while now. There hasn’t been a guy that could score, pass and play defense. But with the trade in November, that changed everything. He did have issues with decision making, but now going into the season, there will be more chemistry with Bledsoe being with the team for a little under a year now and will be more comfortable in the uniform. And after almost a full year in Milwaukee now, he has trust in his teammates and will have a lot more trust in himself on offense and defense. Eric has the ability to make a huge impact for 82 games.
