The Milwaukee Bucks enter the 2026-27 season in a completely new era following the departure of franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Milwaukee traded Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat, receiving a package highlighted by Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakučionis, along with future first-round picks. The Bucks also hired former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins as their new head coach.
After finishing 32-50 and missing the playoffs last season, Milwaukee now has a younger roster focused on building its next competitive core.
Potential Starting Lineup
The Bucks have several lineup possibilities, but a potential starting five could feature:
Herro gives Milwaukee an established offensive weapon, while Rollins could receive a larger role at point guard. Jaquez and Kuzma provide versatility at forward, with Turner anchoring the frontcourt.
Young center Kel'el Ware should also compete for significant minutes and could eventually push his way into the starting lineup.

Players to Watch
Tyler Herro immediately becomes one of the biggest names on Milwaukee's new-look roster. His scoring and shot creation should make him a major part of the Bucks' offense.
Kel'el Ware is another important player for the future. The 7-footer gives Milwaukee a promising young interior presence and could develop into a long-term starter.
The Bucks also added Brayden Burries with the No. 10 pick and acquired Nate Ament, the No. 13 pick, giving Jenkins two more young prospects to develop.
Bucks Outlook
The 2026-27 season represents a major transition for Milwaukee. Instead of building around an established superstar, the Bucks will be evaluating a new generation led by Herro, Ware, Jaquez, Burries and Ament while veterans such as Turner and Kuzma provide experience. Milwaukee may face growing pains, but the franchise now has several intriguing pieces to begin building its post-Giannis future.
