Ranking the Guards for the Milwaukee Bucks Future

Starting with Ryan Rollins whom was snubbed for the most improved player award. Rollins had a breakout year in Milwaukee and is on a team friendly contract. Rollins (23) averaged 17.6 points per game while dishing out 5.6 assists and gathering 4.6 rebounds, massive jumps in all facets of the game. Beyond that Rollins shot 40% from deep, and averaged 1.5 steals per game, showcasing his two-way capabilities. Rollins was one of the few bright spots in a dark season and we should certainly see a nice extension coming in his future.

2. Kevin Porter Jr.

Kevin Porter Jr. (26) is another young guard in Milwaukee that thrived in his increased role --while there is plenty of room for improvement-- Porter should be part of Milwaukee's short- and long-term future. Porter Jr has a $5.4 million player option that he could opt in to. If not, Milwaukee should still bring him back for the right price. He will be a big part of next year's team with or without Giannis. Porter's next step is to improve his three-point shot, but his defensive capabilities, along with his ability to drive and create, make him a player Milwaukee should develop.

3. A.J. Green

A.J Green (26) is signed in Milwaukee through 2029-2030, and he is the perfect player on a championship team. Green is the perfect role player, a high volume three-point machine, showcased by his career three-point percentage of 42%. If Green can take a page out of Duncan Robinson's book and continue to grow his offensive game down low, he can become an even better player, and a great threat for the Milwaukee Bucks whenever they return to contention.

The Bucks future in the back court looks solid. They have two capable two-way players with more room to grow and have their role player in A.J. Green. Beyond that, the Bucks may very well look to the NBA Draft for more help and could have some more reinforcements on the way should Giannis be traded.

But the backcourt was the highlight of this past season, and Taylor Jenkins should be excited about the players he's inheriting.
