NBA: The Best 2016 Free Agent For Every Team

Milwaukee Bucks – Festus Ezeli

The Milwaukee Bucks are in an interesting position, perhaps the most interesting in the NBA.

They might need a point guard because Michael Carter-Williams has played poorly, but they have Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak, as a potential point forward, so it may not be a big deal. They were also bad on defense last season at center, but Greg Monroe might be the answer offensively.

These are half measures for the Bucks, who need to establish an identity and roll with it. One of the players they can do that with is Festus Ezeli. He can be the anchor Jason Kidd needs at center, while Monroe can continue being a backup option and the focal point when both benches are in the game. Ezeli has untapped potential having played on Golden State’s stacked squad, and he’s a great complement in the pain to the trio of the Greek Freak, Khris Middleton and Jabari Parker.

The only answer missing is the point guard issue, but adding an off ball shooter and secondary creator in the draft like Wade Baldwin IV may be the best option there anyway.

Golden State is in a financial bind, and they may relinquish Ezeli, even for a lesser price, because of their need to retain all of their other important pieces. Milwaukee could certainly benefit from this loss of personnel.
