The Milwaukee Bucks could not have predicted just how important Bobby Portis would become for the team when they signed him last offseason.
While Portis was somewhat of a household name, he had bounced around the league in previous seasons and was initially glossed over among the moves made by the Bucks. Well, it seems safe to say that Portis truly defied any and all expectations during his first year in Milwaukee. The big man gave it his all each and every night to help the Bucks ultimately reach their goal of becoming NBA champions, which helped him carve out a spot as a fan favorite.
