Wright is an excellent addition to the Bucks, who have a veteran roster that is built to compete for a title.

The Bucks are coming off a year where they were the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 49-33 record.

However, they lost to Pascal Siakam the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs (in six games).

The team dealt with injuries to All-Star point guard Damian Lillard and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo during the series.
