Luguentz Dort
So, we’ve got the Milwaukee Bucks targeting a new starting center, a new backup point guard, and now, a new 3-and-D wing. With so many needs, how exactly is this a championship-caliber team?
Well, these are all closer to wants than needs. Besides, Luguentz Dort is exactly the type of role player that every contender should covet.
All he does is handle the best perimeter scorer on the opposing team on any given night that he’s asked to. Of course, that’s currently Jrue Holiday’s job description in Milwaukee. That’s fine. Luguentz Dort can relieve him of those duties in spurts, allowing him to either focus on offense or take a breather altogether.
At 6’3, Dort doesn’t conjure up one’s usual image of a 3-and-D wing. The Bucks are uniquely designed to handle that limitation. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a one-man defensive system. His presence can make up for virtually any shortcoming.

Meanwhile, Luguentz Dort’s is still impactful in spite of his frame. In adding him, the Bucks would be adding more power to what’s already one of the league’s best defenses.
