Milwaukee – The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to have three – or more – players competing in the FIBA World Cup since Kris Middleton is part of the Team USA expanded roster, however, Turkish forward Ersan Ilyasova and the Greek Freak, Giannis Antetokounmpo are also going to be in China.
Coach Mike Budenholzer talked about what means for them to play for their national team and while he admitted that the Bucks will be closely monitoring them since the NBA training camps are expected to open just 10 days after the end of the tournament, he also admitted that playing for the national teams “is an honor”.
