The Bucks are behind Brooklyn and the Lakers for favorites to win the title.

MVP projections.....(1) Durant, (2) Doncic and (3) Giannis. I was surprised to see GM's select Doncic as the one player they would select to start a franchise with today. Doncic is tremendous, but with Giannis only 26, no way I would take Doncic over Giannis.

Giannis selected as the best and most versatile defender in the NBA. Jrue Holiday considered the best perimeter defender in the NBA. Most importantly, the Bucks are considered the best defensive team in the NBA.

Coach Budenholzer top 5 in several coaching categories (#5 overall, #3 offensive schemes and #2 defensive schemes). Darvin Ham tied with Kenny Atkinson for best assistant coach in the NBA. Charles Lee with honorable mention.
