Who will lead this team?

Derrick, but I'd like it to be Mayo.

By the end of the season, when it matters most, it will be Burton

If Derrick is going to lead I hope it's from the bench.

The way he finished the season, I was predicting Burton before Buzz left.    Having Wojo as the coach, I think Deonte will be one of the leaders.   I think Wojo is going to inspire Duane and Todd to step up.

Duane and Deonte.  no doubt.  Milwaukee's Best.

totally agree.  Young but hungry they are

Sophomore Tri-Captains JJJ, Bane, and Duane

IMO, this is one of the biggest question marks around next years team.  Important to note that it's impossible to judge leadership skills based on 60 second interviews and a quote in a PT article.

Leaders should have, (1) proven success on the court, particularly in "crunch" time and (2) a natural ability to command attention and communicate their point. 

At this point, I don't believe any player on our team has shown both.  Deonte and Todd have proven success on the court, but can they consistently speak up and direct?  Derrick and Juan seem to be good communicators, but have they had enough success on the court to command attention from their teammates?

My best guess would be some combination of Derrick, Deonte, and Todd.
