20. Sterling Brown

Sterling Brown took full advantage of his playing time in the seeding games and proved once again why he has potential as a role player in this league. Unfortunately, it’s been difficult for him to crack Milwaukee’s deep rotation and, barring an injury or slump, he’ll likely only be used if the Bucks need to inject energy into a lackluster performance.

19. Ersan Ilyasova

Bucks’ fans have been calling for Ersan Ilyasova’s head (figuratively, of course) for a while. However, he’s not as bad as some might think. Now, that doesn’t mean he’s been good–especially since the Bucks’ acquired Marvin Williams. Ilyasova is likely to get an opportunity at playing time and we’ll see if he can capitalize on it.

18. Wesley Iwundu

Due to all the injuries, Wesley Iwundu’s role is likely to increase as the Magic may be forced to go small. He’s an energetic player who has made positive strides each year he’s been in the NBA. He’ll have a big opportunity to increase his next paycheck in this series.

17. Kyle Korver

Kyle Korver was brought to Milwaukee for spot-duty in the postseason. He’s far past his year’s as a passable defender, but is still a lights-out shooter. Orlando may not have the squad to fully capitalize on Korver’s defensive shortcomings, which should give the sharpshooter more leeway for playing time in this series.

16. Marvin Williams

Yet to find his groove in Milwaukee, Williams has the chance to play a big role in a potential Finals’ run. He’s first in line to receive backup minutes behind Antetokounmpo, and if he can start knocking down threes, watch out!
