The Milwaukee Bucks have been the NBA’s most intriguing team with the surplus of young talent and head coach Jason Kidd leading the way for this team.
John Henson may have only averaged 7 points per game and 4 rebounds, but it’s more of what he does defensively for head coach Jason Kidd that makes the team highly value him.
The Bucks are focusing on re-signing free agent Henson to a deal which looks like they’ll get done according to ESPN’s Marc Stein.

Bucks regard Henson as key part of their core alongside Giannis, Jabari, Monroe, MCW and Middleton and want to get Henson signed/sealed, too

Henson didn’t provide the team with the high scoring production like he did in 2013-2014, but Henson didn’t receive as many minutes this season.
The Bucks may value Henson, but it’ll be tough to come by big minutes with the signing of Greg Monroe the departure of Zaza Pachulia will open up some minutes though.
John Henson helped the Bucks reach the post-season in a weak Eastern Conference, and despite the troubles of getting funding for a new arena the future for the Bucks looks bright.
