Milwaukee Bucks: Poised for another strong year defensively in 2021-22

Jul 20, 2021; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The Milwaukee Bucks have been extremely consistent on the defensive end in recent seasons.

Due to a variety of reasons, the Bucks under coach Mike Budenholzer’s direction have become a team that is very sound on the defensive end. With players such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday on the roster, it is no wonder why Milwaukee has been so defensive-oriented.

Both Holiday and Antetokounmpo were named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team during the 2020-21 season. With two all-star defenders and a surplus of other defensive talents, Milwaukee is poised to have another strong year defensively.
