In order to win a championship in any league at any level, there must be championship depth.
Through the first quarter of the NBA season, it’s clear the Milwaukee Bucks have it.
In the absence of All-Star forward Khris Middleton and glue-guy guard Pat Connaughton, the Bucks established one of the best records in the NBA.
In the face of adversity lies opportunity. Guard Jevon Carter is starting and shooting a career best 41.6 percent from three. Guard Grayson Allen is shooting a career best 45 percent from deep. Rookie Marjon Beauchamp has asserted himself as a legitimate rotation piece.Â
Championship teams have stars and the Bucks have a superstar in Giannis.
Championship teams have additional All-Star caliber talent. The Bucks are stocked with Middleton, Jrue Holiday and – this season – Brook Lopez.
Championship teams also have depth. The Bucks are loaded with it.
