Once one of the best Badger basketball players in program history, Johnny Davis did not pan out in the NBA.
He is now headed to Turkey after signing a contract with the Glint Manisa Basket.
Davis played just 12 games in three seasons with the Washington Wizards.
Never a great shooter in the NBA.
He had less than 40% of his shots from the field, 27% on three pointers, and a surprising 56% on free throws.
He had been a top 10 selection in the 2022 NBA draft.
For the first time in more than a decade, the Bucks are not considered a playoff contender.
There's been too much roster turnover to know exactly where they stand.
Yahoo Sports reports that odds makers in Las Vegas are projecting Milwaukee to win between 24.5 and 26.5 games.
The Bucks have more depth this season, but a lot of that is made up of unproven rookies and young players.
The team has given a 5% chance.
at making the postseason.
