Jonathan offered further detail on a number of the topics he wrote about, including:

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker

• What type of players will they become moving forward?
• If Antetokounmpo takes over the lead playmaking role, how will that affect Parker?
• Is there someone else that plays like Parker? Can he adjust his game to get to the free throw line?

The Bucks Shooting Guard Options

• How can Tony Snell help? How can the Bucks help Snell?
• What does Rashad Vaughn’s future look like in the NBA?
• Can Malcolm Brogdon help out at shooting guard?
• Is the solution simply to play Mirza Teletovic with Antetokounmpo and Parker and bypass any of the “true” shooting guard options?

Thon Maker

• What type of player can Maker become as he develops?
• Is he potentially the answer to many of the problems with the Bucks’ strange lineups?

Bucks Miscellanea

• Is it okay to limit players from doing certain things while trying to develop them?
• What are the proper expectations for this Bucks season? How do you measure success?
• How many wins can Bucks fans expect?
• Is it actually a good year to be in the lottery? Who could the Bucks possibly add in the draft?
