The Milwaukee Bucks have never really managed to adopt the kind of uptempo approach that many feel would suit their roster in recent seasons, but that’s not to say there isn’t one area of the game where the Bucks have managed to leverage advantages they have in speed and athleticism.
The Bucks have consistently ranked among the league’s best transition teams over the past three years or so, and in the 2017-18 season they pushed that even further to join the NBA’s elite in that department.
Although there’s plenty about the way Milwaukee played last season that Mike Budenholzer and his staff may opt to leave behind, the way the Bucks controlled the fastbreak on both ends may well be something they work to maintain.
