Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and Khris Middleton have yet to see action, but the Milwaukee Bucks have managed to split their first two games in the preseason.

Beating the Chicago Bulls and dropping a tight contest against the Memphis Grizzlies despite not having the high-scoring trio simply shows the depth that the Bucks have.

Too many weapons

MarJon Beauchamp talked about Milwaukee’s talented crew after he helped the Bucks beat the Bulls, 105-102, last Sunday.

“We definitely have depth, and it’s pretty cool to see. The first group, the second group, we just kept balling, and I feel like we’re building that good chemistry together, and it’s going to be a fun year,” said Beauchamp, who finished with a game-high 18 points and a game-high-tying nine rebounds in the win.

Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, Brook Lopez, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo also scored in double figures in the victory that showed Milwaukee's deep offensive artillery.

Milwaukee lost its second preseason game against Memphis, 102-108, in a game that was close for the most part before the Bucks lost steam in the fourth period. In the loss, another Buck showcased his scoring ability as Pat Connaughton came off the bench to deliver 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field.

More help coming

With Beauchamp, Connaughton, and Thanasis showing flashes of scoring ability, the Bucks undeniably have more than enough tools to outgun opponents on a regular basis.

Fans can finally take a glimpse at how the Bucks could be deadly in the upcoming season as Antetokounmpo and Lillard are set to play for the first time together against the LA Lakers on Sunday. It’s interesting to note that Beauchamp has already felt Milwaukee’s deep talent when Giannis and Damian have yet to play.

“I feel like, because we have so much great talent, if someone goes down, we have another person to come back up. It’s great,” said Beauchamp.
