The Milwaukee Bucks are a team with higher expectations in 2018-19. Which players on the roster are facing the most pressure heading into the season?

The Milwaukee Bucks are a team facing its biggest challenge of the past fifteen years: succeeding under the weight of expectations. With an MVP candidate, an accomplished head coach and a versatile roster many are expecting the Bucks to make waves in the Eastern Conference.

If the team as a whole is facing significant pressure, you can be assured many of the players are as well. Some are facing the mundane pressures of NBA life — to perform well, to earn a new contract, to make the team. But more unique pressures emerge as well.

Superstars bear the weight of success on their shoulders as the face of the team. Young players must deliver on the potential they brought to the league. No matter a player’s age, experience, role or talent they can face pressure from within and without.

Here are three players on the Bucks roster facing the most pressure coming into the 2018-19 NBA season. Any player on the team could end up facing the most pressure, but these storylines are seen even now.
