By Jordan Foote
As players continue to strive for improvement at this stage of the NBA offseason, which members of the Milwaukee Bucks are under the most pressure to perform in 2019-20?
Whether it’s wanted or not, everyone faces pressure at multiple points in their lives. For athletes, it comes in the form of constant critiquing, sky-high expectations to perform and not very much job security. This is no different for members of the Milwaukee Bucks, a team aiming for a championship appearance this upcoming season.
As the 2019 NBA offseason reaches its “dog days,” players are hard at work in an effort to improve on what they accomplished last year. Nutrition, training and recovery are all elements critical to their success.

After last year’s trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, not many fanbases believe they’re closer to winning it all than Milwaukee’s.
The Milwaukee Bucks haven’t won a championship since 1971. This is as close as they’ve been to competing for one in years. The pressure is on. With that said, which members of the roster are feeling it the most?
