#22. Milwaukee Bucks

2012-2013: 38-44 (8th seed)

Head Coach: Larry Drew

Signed: Gustavo Ayon, Carlos Delfino, John Henson, Ersan Ilyasova, O.J. Mayo, Zaza Pachulia, Luke Ridnour, Larry Sanders, Ish Smith, Ekpe Udoh

Rationale: The Bucks made the playoffs by four wins, but they weren’t a good team last year, and they’re probably worse this season. At the moment, they don’t have a starting point guard (Brandon Jennings is the surest bet) and they hired a new head coach. Nobody on the current roster can actually compromise a defense (i.e. penetrate, draw a double team, etc.) If there is a glimmer of hope, it lies with the frontcourt of Larry Sanders, Ersan Ilyasova, and John Henson should he actually receive playing time.
