The Milwaukee Bucks have a huge decision to make at point guard this offseason which means they could target one of these eleven options.

For the second straight year, the Milwaukee Bucks’ season ended with a whimper in the playoffs. A year after dropping four straight to the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals they went out in a gentleman’s sweep against the Miami Heat in the semi-finals this time around.

With The Athletic’s  Shams Charania reporting head coach Mike Budenholzer’s job is safe, the attention turns to the Bucks’ roster and how they can improve around Giannis Antetokounmpo. At the top of that list is Eric Bledsoe and the point guard position.

For the third straight season, Bledsoe underwhelmed in the postseason, proving himself a liability on the offensive end. His outside shooting woes have been magnified and exploited by opposing defenses, as his man routinely leaves him open on the perimeter to help deter other Bucks from getting to the hoop. It’s clear Milwaukee can’t win a championship with two non-shooters in Bledsoe and Antetokounmpo, and you know the MVP isn’t going anywhere (at least this season).

That leaves Milwaukee with one option: Trade Bledsoe and upgrade/do something different at the point guard position. I’ve outlined 11 point guards who Milwaukee could conceivably sign in free agency or trade for. In no way is this an exhaustive list, it’s simply 11 options they could explore before the beginning of next season.
