Likely Bucks starter cannot get complacent in new role as replacements lurk

The Milwaukee Bucks' backcourt underwent significant changes this offseason. Damian Lillard was waived, Cole Anthony was added, and Kevin Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins came back. Porter showed great glimpses last season, and he will be Milwaukee's likely starting point guard, though he can't get complacent, as the team has replacements.

Trading MarJon Beauchamp for Porter straight up was a seriously lopsided trade win for the Bucks. In his 30 games in Milwaukee, he averaged 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on shooting splits of .494/.408/.871. His offensive punch was much-needed midseason, but the potential erratic side of his game could be his downfall should he not control it in the 2025-26 season.
