Bucks fans should personally thank the Orlando front office for a pair of inadvertent favors this offseason. First, the Magic traded Cole Anthony to Memphis, where Anthony agreed to a buyout in order to join the Bucks. Then, in free agency, they scooped up point guard Tyus Jones, a name previously linked to Milwaukee.
That combination of events appears to have a clear beneficiary. While Jones has struggled, Anthony has already delivered a signature performance. It's still early, but the situation could look even better for the Bucks as the season progresses.

Dealing with an illness, Anthony missed a game and did not look quite himself his first night back against the Knicks.
