For the Milwaukee Bucks, being playoff bound this season represents a real step in the right direction for this organization. In fact, this team may be about to enter the most exciting period in its history. They’ve got arguably the most exciting young core in the league that will continue to grow together.

They’ve got veterans who fit the system the Bucks employ well, and even possess a guy in Khris Middleton who has come out of nowhere to put the league on notice.

Add second-year head coach Jason Kidd to the mix, a guy whose reputation is growing quickly as the best young head coach in the league, and the future looks bright here. Even better, much of the progress has been done without rookie Jabari Parker, lost early in the season to injury.

The second pick in last year’s draft had shown flashes of his great potential, and will slide right in once healthy again. A great prospect for a smaller market team that’s been an afterthought for too long, despite some loyal fans. Not too sure about that logo though.
