NBA projected win totals for all 30 teams
By Bryce Olin
29. Milwaukee Bucks- 24.5 wins
2013-14 Record: 15-67
Jason Kidd and Jabari Parker instantly make the Bucks better than they were last season, but how good does that make them?
Parker is considered the most NBA-ready prospect in the draft. Should he live up to the hype, Paker will probably average about 19.0 PPG on 40 percent shooting, because that’s what good rookies do.
The Bucks were the worst team in the NBA last season and only won 15 games. After last season, the organization trimmed the fat, brought in some decent talent, and nabbed Jason Kidd from the Nets while screwing over Larry Drew in the process.
Why you should take the Over:
Maybe I’m crazy, but I actually like the Bucks next season.
Obviously, I’m not picking the Bucks to make the playoffs, but they actually have real NBA players this season and a coach that made some good adjustments with a limited roster last season.
The Bucks have a good base of young talent with Brandon Knight, Khris Middleton, Larry Sanders, Giannis Antetokounmpo, John Henson, Nate Wolters, and now Parker.
Why you should take the Under:
They’re the Bucks… and… they only added Jarryd Bayless, Jared Dudley, and Kendall Marshall to a team that only won 15 games last season.
It might not all come together next year, but the Bucks are trending up. I’ll take the over on the Bucks; 30-34 wins is definitely doable.
