Jason Kidd

“Health will have a lot to do with where Milwaukee finishes in the standings, but I believe the Bucks can finish in the top four of the East. Even with Parker missing a good portion of the year, I could realistically see the Bucks surprising some people and finishing third in the East behind a monster year from Antetokounmpo.” –Isaac Harris

“This is the year that the Milwaukee Bucks finally make the leap, launching themselves into the top half of the East. Jason Kidd will get lots of the credit for their success, molding and developing one of the most versatile rosters in the NBA. Kidd will win Coach of the Year.” –Sam Casey
