Reminds me of the 2000-01 season with Cassell, Allen and Big Dog. Although this team is deeper and more balanced.
Players in Atlanta (Korver, Horford, etc) attested to how much Budenholzer helped develop and expand their games. I can't help but think he has had a positive impact on Bledsoe's game. Love his improved playmaking and 3-point shooting. Brook Lopez is also on a 1-year deal (bi-annual exception). So Middleton, Brogdon, Bledsoe and Lopez will all be due for new deals. It will be interesting to see what the Bucks want and are able to do.
