--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giannis Antetokounmpo
83 Overall
Position: SF
2nd Pos: PG (from PF)
Archetype: Athletic Point Forward

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Khris Middleton
81 Overall
Position: SG
2nd Pos: SF
Archetype: Two-Way Guard

VITALS
Injury: Torn Left Hamstring
Duration: 140 Days

NOTES
9/29/16: Middleton's injury is nothing short of devastating to the Bucks.  He was the glue that held the team's roster composition together.  A natural SF, Middleton was able to play out of position at SG thanks to his defensive prowess and shooting ability.   He was also logged nearly all the SF that didn't go to Antetokounmpo.  The Bucks now have major shoes to fill, with only unproven players waiting in the wings.

65 Offensive Consistency (+5)
80 Intangibles (+2)
85 Potential (+5)

NOTES
9/29/16: Monroe didn't really fit with the Bucks last season, and the team made long-term commitments to Miles Plumlee and John Henson over the summer. It is extremely likely Monroe is traded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jabari Parker
78 Overall
Position: PF
2nd Pos: SF
Archetype: Low Post Star

CONTRACT
Option: None (from Team)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mirza Teletovic
76 Overall
Position: PF
2nd Pos: N/A
Archetype: Faceup Four

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

John Henson
76 Overall
Position: C
2nd Pos: N/A
Archetype: Interior Defender

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Matthew Dellavedova
75 Overall
Position: PG
2nd Pos: N/A (from SG)
Archetype: Two-Way Star

NOTES
9/29/16: Dellavedova has already won the starting PG job over Michael Carter-Williams.  He should be a better compliment to the Greek Freak, who operates in a point-forward role.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael Beasley
75 Overall (NC)
Position: PF
2nd Pos: SF
Archetype: Offensive-Minded Four

NOTES
9/29/16: Beasley was acquired via trade after Middleton's injury news broke.  Joining the Rockets towards the end of last season (after dominating the Chinese league), he established himself as a quality bench scorer (22.5 PER, 56 TS% on 30 USG%).  While Beasley operates best as a small-ball four, he will likely be asked to play more SF this season to help fill the absence of Khris Middleton.  This is primarily because the team is loaded at PF with Jabari Parker and Mirza Teletovic, and he should be able to step in if Parker ever has to miss any time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miles Plumlee
73 Overall
Position: C
2nd Pos: N/A
Archetype: Interior Defender

NOTES
9/29/16: Plumlee is the consummate role player which actually gives him the edge over Greg Monroe for the starting job.  Defense and rebounding come at a premium when a team already has a multitude of offensive options in the front-court.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve Novak
72 Overall
Position: PF
2nd Pos: N/A (from SF)
Archetype: Faceup Four

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jason Terry
71 Overall
Position: PG
2nd Pos: N/A (from SG)
Archetype: Offensive-Minded Point

NOTES
9/29/16: At 39-years old, Terry isn't capable of starting at SG anymore over an extended period, but he could very easily force the Bucks to play Dellavedova and MCW there if the Bucks younger, natural SGs don't play well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thon Maker
71 Overall
Position:  C
2nd Pos: PF
Archetype: Faceup Center

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tony Snell
70 Overall (-2)
Position: SG (from SF)
2nd Pos: SF (from N/A)
Archetype: Two-Way Guard (from Two-Way Wing)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malcolm Brogdon
70 Overall
Position: SG
2nd Pos: PG (from N/A)
Archetype: Sharpshooter

NOTES
9/29/16: Despite his rookie status, Brogdon is actually three years older than Rashad Vaughn;  it would not be surprising to see him take Vaughn's minutes and role if the latter continues to struggle.  He has great sleeper potential and could make an All-Rookie team if he gets the requisite minutes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rashad Vaughn
69 Overall
Position: SG
2nd Pos: N/A (from SF)
Archetype: Athletic Shooting Guard

CONTRACT
Option: Team (from 2Y Team)

NOTES
9/29/16: Despite an absolutely atrocious rookie season, Vaughn will start at SG with Khris Middleton sidelined by injury (pending any trades, of course).  The bright side is Vaughn can't be any worse than he was last season, when his 4.2 PER and 30 FG% (40 TS%) were by far the worst marks among NBA players with 1,000 minutes played.
