The Milwaukee Bucks believe they have a good blend of veterans and young players with upside to compete this season.

“We do feel we’re one of those teams that, if we do remain healthy and if our team fits together, we’ll be a competitive team and a team that vies for a playoff position,” said general manager John Hammond. “I don’t think [chemistry] will be a problem for us.

“If you look at our roster, we have our team core back from last season. We are a young team. A lot of people say it’s difficult to win with young teams, but I say we still have enough veteran guys that can help us that we can be successful.”
