26. Milwaukee Bucks (Brandon Knight & Giannis Antetokounmpo)

The Milwaukee Bucks are committed to giving Giannis Antetokounmpo the opportunity to run point in some way, shape or form. This works out well considering Brandon Knight is a crafty scorer who can play some offensive 2.

For as much promise as that tandem may possess, calling it an unproven commodity would be a massive understatement. Knight averaged 17.9 points per game in 2013-14, but Antetokounmpo is still still upside over established ability.

This duo could break out as one of the most exciting in the Eastern Conference, but until that happens, they’re low on the list.
