As seen by Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s synergy in a big win over the Detroit Pistons recently, the Milwaukee Bucks have everything they need to dominate the NBA.
In that contest, the All-Star duo showed why they’re among the best one-two punch combos in the league, thanks to their scary potential on the offensive end of the court, especially if Lillard keeps his foot on the gas. Add a supporting cast with Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez to the mix, and getting far in the playoffs is definitely achievable.

But since Antetokounmpo dealt with an injury lately, there’s every chance for the Bucks’ championship plans to go haywire in an instant. Nevertheless, the team’s 12th-place offense and fourth-place defense may be enough to help Milwaukee return to the promised land.

With a pairing of Antetokounmpo and Lillard, it only makes sense to add a player who can shine on defense since the All-Star duo has already covered their offensive needs. Alex Caruso fits the bill since he can contain even the likes of Kevin Durant. Of course, either Dorian Finney-Smith or Matisse Thybulle can work as well for Milwaukee.
With the NBA trade deadline fast approaching next month, the Bucks need to work fast if they want to add a player of Caruso’s caliber soon. If this happens, expect Milwaukee’s ceiling to go up once again.
