Grayson Allen will be a great fit for the Milwaukee Bucks in the upcoming NBA season.
The Milwaukee Bucks just won the second championship in franchise history this past July. As evidenced by “The Deer District” the City of Milwaukee loves basketball and has a raucous crowd to support the home team whenever they play at Fiserv Forum. However, professional sports is a business and championship euphoria only lasts a matter of months. Naturally, the question pundits will ask is “can they do it again?”
The Milwaukee Bucks recently acquired Grayson Allen in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies. He will be a key contributor to the team next season.

On August 6th, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired Grayson Allen from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Sam Merrill and two future second-round picks. Let’s take a closer look at why Allen will play an important role in Milwaukee’s pursuit of a second consecutive championship next season.
