Nevertheless, Game 7 of the NBA Finals wrapped up barely a month ago—on June 22—and free agency didn’t even start until eight days later

Still, the Milwaukee Bucks’ roster is already close to set heading into the new season

Additionally, And make no mistake—the Bucks are overloaded in the frontcourt (noteworthy indeed)

They currently have six players who primarily operate as power forwards or centers, in today's financial world

Moreover, Meanwhile, That’s going to create some challenges for Doc Rivers when it comes to setting a rotation

Market analysis shows ’s worth noting: this list doesn’t include Bogoljub Markovic, the Bucks’ only draft pick this year (something worth watching)

Moreover, He’s not under contract on Milwaukee’s 15-man roster, and signs point to him spending at least his first season overseas

However, With that out of the way, let’s break down the Bucks’ power forward depth chart after free agency

Giannis Antetokounmpo The Bucks will go only as far as Antetokounmpo can carry them

Nevertheless, Once surrounded by a host of All-Star talent, he’s now the lone holdover from the team’s recent prime, in today's market environment

Milwaukee plans to hand Giannis the keys to the offense full-time

MORE FOR YOU Expect the Bucks to run plenty of sets with Giannis initiating, considering recent developments

That means opposing defenses will have to pick their poison: collapse to stop the freight train barreling down the lane, or stay on shooters spaced around him, in this volatile climate

Either way, the Bucks are betting on Antetokounmpo to create everything (noteworthy indeed)

Kyle Kuzma Kuzma shifted to the small forward spot after arriving in Milwaukee last season, but he’s ly more comfortable at the 4 (quite telling)

Conversely, The blem is that’s Giannis’ territory

Moreover, It looks the Bucks want to slide Kuzma back to his natural position, which could mean fewer minutes and a smaller role—especially after a disappointing stretch post-trade deadline and into the playoffs, where he was pulled from the starting five

Tyler Smith Milwaukee is still in wait-and-see mode with Smith

For Smith to stick, he has to develop his jumper

If he can turn into a reliable pick-and-pop or stretch-four threat, he might find a niche

Moreover, But unless there’s an injury crisis, don’t expect to see much of him this season, amid market uncertainty

Chris Livingston If we're being honest, I should've included Chris Livingston on the small forward depth chart here (which is quite significant)

He would be beneath Andre Jackson Jr (something worth watching)

Moreover, Livingston looked solid in Summer League, which helped him earn a return to Milwaukee after briefly being released during free agency

Furthermore, Still, he faces a major challenge: he doesn’t really have a position, in today's financial world

He’s not quick enough to stick with wings, and at 6'6", 220 pounds, he’s undersized to guard true fours

However, Additionally, That tweener has hurt his development so far, and unless he can carve out a role soon, this might be one of his last shots in the league
