The Bucks have a difficult season ahead of them with less star power on the roster than in previous seasons. Many fans and media members have dismissed them as a weak roster incapable of making any real noise in the playoffs, but Bobby Portis believes that will actually help the team. Portis talked on media day about the benefit of going into a season with lower expectations and being able to surprise teams.
Teams won’t see the Bucks coming
Bobby Portis is certainly correct that the Bucks are being overlooked going into this season. ESPN projected them to win 46 games and finish sixth in the East, which would be their worst record and placement in the standings since 2018.
