My opinion of Budenholzer is not exactly ground-breaking.  Barkley has been complaining about Bud's offense for years, and most analysts complain about Budenholzer's reliance on isolations with offense.  Middleton is good, but he would be unstoppable if the team had better ball movement.

If I was the Bucks' Head Coach, I would be attacking the basket with Holiday, with Giannis as a dump off once the help came over to Holiday.  I would be running Middleton off screens away from the ball on the 3 point line so he would be getting more clean catch-and-shoot looks instead of always shooting over a defender.  I would mix in some pick and roll with Lopez if the opposing teams went small.  The Bucks would be unstoppable with just a little more structure.

I like Budenholzer's base defense, but when the opposing coach starts to exploit a problem in it, Bud has to adjust, and he either doesn't or he makes the wrong adjustment, like pulling Lopez off the floor.
