Just nervous about what happens when Bobby comes back. As I <probably prematurely> said after game 2, post trade deadline, if this keeps up Bobbys' role should be lead cheerleader upon return. After all the clamoring for athleticism and foot speed, we finally get it and see immediate results. I like our chances to make a real run at this thing.


Bobby is still one of our better players, he just needs to take minutes from the right people. Most notably Prince and probably Sims as much as I like his energy.

If you have:

Dame 36
Giannis 34
Kuzma 33
Brook 30
Bobby 30
Prince 15

That leaves 62 mins to split between Kpj, Green and Trent depending on the matchup.

I would go with 24, 20, and 18 respectively most nights


If you're talking about the playoffs, the Giannis/Dame minutes will increase into the 40s, unless the game is not in doubt:

Dame 42
Giannis 42
Kuzma 32
Brook 32
BP 25
Prince 25
Trent 20
Green 10
KPJ 10

This isn't what I think should happen, but a guess on what will happen. Posters are euphoric on KPJ, but let's see how the next 10 games go. The Bucks have had a bunny schedule that will gear up dramatically.

Bobby is only back for 4 regular season games.

Kuzma has also been great at getting out and running a lane or bringing it up on the break.

I personally think Bobby should take about 5 of Brook’s minutes. Brook is perfect as 25mpg but over 30 is a bit too much I think, and with some bad matchups maybe less. This is coming from one of his biggest fans.
