Sam Amico is certainly bullish on the Bucks, has them #2 in the East. The East has taken a bit of a hit: Butler, George and Millsap all going from the East to the West. James and Irving no longer a tandem. Toronto lost some of their depth (Demarre Carroll and PJ Tucker). Boston picks up Hayward and Irving, but has lost Thomas, Bradley and Crowder.

A lot is going to depend on the improvement of Maker, Brogdon, a healthy Middleton for an entire season and what Parker can provide upon his return in February. Nevertheless, it is exciting to see the Bucks in the discussion for top teams in the East.
