Doc Rivers Takes the Reins of the Milwaukee Bucks

New Coach Expected to Bolster Defense and Maximize Star Players' Potential

Doc Rivers has taken over as the new head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, a team with championship aspirations but struggling with defensive issues.
The Bucks are not prioritizing regular-season success, focusing instead on preparing for the playoffs.
Rivers' teams have traditionally been strong on defense, and he is expected to improve the Bucks' defense, particularly in defending the pick and roll.
Rivers is also expected to maximize the offensive potential of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, possibly by having them run more pick-and-roll/pop.
Despite the Bucks' current standing, they are seen as potential value for the playoffs if Rivers can successfully implement changes and get the two superstars on the same page.
