Ranking The Roster: Bobby Portis Is Number One In Our Hearts, But Fifth In This Series

Next up in our rankings is Milwaukee legend Bobby Portis, voted by the Brew Hoop commentariat as the fifth most important Buck to playoff success.

Let me tell you quickly why I like Portis. It goes back to 2015, when I favored him as Milwaukee’s draft choice at 17 that year, thinking he’d make a fine replacement for the recently-departed Jared Dudley and Ersan Ilyasova (who would eventually replace himself with... himself). He went 22nd and the Bucks took Rashard Vaughn.

Had to end that paragraph for emphasis. Anyway, Portis put together a solid career in the ensuing years as a scoring big with a good outside touch.
