Milwaukee Bucks: Patrick Beverley

Patrick Beverley is a tumultuous player where you love him if he's on your team or hate him for his antics if your team is facing him. He has 71 games of playoff experience and is credited with being a major piece in the turnarounds of the Timberwolves and Clippers in years past. The low light is he ended his season picking up a four-game suspension after throwing a basketball at a Pacers fan in game six of the Milwaukee-Indy series.

When he's available to play the Cs would be getting an elite defender and great veteran leader off the bench. After an underwhelming regular season with time spent with the Sixers and Bucks where he shot 32% on threes with Philly and 39% from the floor with Milwaukee, he managed to up his play in the postseason.

In Game 5 of the first round against the Pacers with an injured Dame and no Giannis, Beverley exploded for 13 points, 12 assists, four rebounds, two steals, and a block on efficient shooting to propel Milwaukee to victory. When he's available with Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, this would be a three-headed snake opponents lose sleep over facing.
