To maximize the new-look roster model, the Milwaukee Bucks will need a number of players to take a step forward in 2025-26. One player the team has high hopes for in that regard is shooting guard AJ Green, set to enter his fourth season. So far, he has yet to average double figures, but a major leap may be coming, potentially one that propels him into award consideration.
The suggestion seems wild because it is, but could an upper percentile outcome see him competing by season's end for a few Most Improved Player votes? Though rare, such a jump is not without precedent.
