Milwaukee Bucks: Grayson Allen
Allen started 70 games for the Milwaukee Bucks last season, playing out the first year of the two-year, $18 million extension he signed in October of 2021. He’s been a solid outside shooter in a Bucks uniform, hitting 40.4 percent of his 3s and he’s done his job as a defender in the Bucks scheme, pushing penetration towards Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez. But he’s often been ill-prepared and under-equipped to provide any meaningful complementary creation or enough of a threat to keep the Bucks halfcourt offense from collapsing in the postseason.
That’s not all on Grayson, injuries, scheme and circumstances have all been big problems. But the money they spent on him this past year, and this coming season, could be paying for someone who solves more pressing problems.
