Ah, so Bolden is the guy they throw at Giannis in 1v1 workouts to make him deal with a big body.

That actually kind of makes sense why they gave him a two way. He’s probably not bad 1v1 because he is long but pretty quick for his size. If Giannis thinks it helps, that’s worth the spot to avoid losing him.

Still unsure of any logical reason Wigginton has a two way for life.

Probably Giannis' long lost brother. He's almost as **** as the real one.

i wonder how many people realize hes the same age as Pat

And that Pat is better.

Pat responds:

Did not realize our 2nd and 3rd games of the year were already a back to back. That seems insanely stupid.

Yep, 3rd game of the season is a second end of a B2B vs Miami. Lovely.

Probably without Khris too, unless we sit him on the front end.

Giannis averaged 31.1 last year (career high). Dame averaged 32.2 (career high). Those numbers are not sustainable.

The O/U for Giannis is 28.5, for Dame it's 27.5. That seems about right.

[Badgerlander]

30-year old Alex Caruso isn't a guy you give up draft picks for.

i wonder how many people realize hes the same age as Pat

Or that Cam Payne is 29

B2B's are the biggest reason for players sitting out nowadays, especially if travel is involved. This should be an easy problem to solve.

Seeing both those b2bs are at home i would sit giannis against atlanta n dame vs miami though dont know why both couldnt play limited mins in both

i would rest no one and play everyone both games

[MVP2110]

I could see Khris resting vs ATL or MIA but that's about it. I expect everyone else to play.

[MickeyDavis]

Khris probably doesn't play both but everyone else should. It does suck to have a B2B for games 2 and 3. Sixers also have a B2B in games 2&3. Denver games 3&4. Lakers 3&4 Celtics first B2B are games 8&9.

LOL at the Bulls having the fastest players only meeting in the history of the league.

[giannis and 1]

Unlike Caruso, Pat isn't afraid of his own shadow on offense. Gimme Pat in the playoffs every time.

Caruso can make open 3’s. That’s all we need our starting sg to be able to do on offense. And I doubt his ball handling is worse than Pat’s. Then you look at how they compare at the other end of the court and it’s not even close. I would easily make a slight downgrade in 3 point shooting for a guy who is a lockdown defender. He’s also over a year younger to boot.

Caruso's career high attempted 3s is 7 in one game. I think you vastly underrate Pats ability off the dribble and the impact an actual shooter like pat has over Caruso

Caruso is a decent role player but not capable in taking the same type of quick trigger 3 pointers Pat has done the last couple of seasons. No doubt a dip in his shooting % was because he tried to adjust his 3 to not even bring the ball down below his neck to shoot it so he could be quicker. I think a lot of Bucks fans don't really factor in (or maybe don't care) how difficult that is and how many guys that would try it would tank their 3 pt %

God the Pat love gets a little over the top here at times

Absolutely agree but seeing how bud was so into resting players no matter what time of the season it was i was just spitballing i think thry should without question play everyone both games especially seeing both are home

[Daver]

And you can bet the Cs probsbly play everyone same as everyone else this early in the season
