Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal
Well, here’s the same question inverted: can the Bucks afford not to move this pick?
After all, they roster, arguably, the best basketball player in the world. When you have Giannis Antetokounmpo in his prime, you don’t spare expenses. Since this pick conveys so distantly, the Bucks are protecting against one disastrous outcome – Antetokounmpo leaving the franchise.
As long as he doesn’t do so, the Bucks will be contending. Meanwhile, Clarkson is a great addition to this squad. A quick look at their roster indicates an absolute lack of reserves who can carry the second unit’s offense.
In other words, the Bucks should be in the market for a sixth man. As it happens, Jordan Clarkson won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2020-21. Granted, he had a down year last season, but sub-elite volume scorers tend to vary in efficiency.
