Really odd roster construction at the moment….

KPJ/Rollins/Anthony
Trent Jr./Green/Harris
Kuzma/Prince/AJax
Giannis/Portis/Markovic
Turner/Sims

Really need better wings.

25 year old who is just slightly under league average from three in four attempts per game for his career. And who has been a positive player according to the advanced stats for every year of his career besides his rookie season. (The advanced D stats are favorable for him). Also he can dribble a basketball, so that makes him one of four Bucks who can actually do that.

If he sees a slight uptick in his shooting off GA’s gravity, he’s a nice bench piece that lets you run a ton of three guard lineups which is really what you should do unless you get an actual SF (Kuz and Prince are not SFs and are barely worth roster spots in the league).

I like it.

It's the moment Thansis has been dreaming of.

No wings. Play three guards with two of GA/Turner/Bobby at all times. Sit Kuz and Prince. Space and pace league. GA can cover elite wings if someone is roasting GTJ and AJG.

I have no issue with Ajax not being on the roster. Either way they have nothing to do with each other.


They do.

Ajax is a 2.

Harris is a 2.
Green is a 2.
Anthony is a 1.
Rollins is a 1.
KPJ is a combo guard.
Trent is a 2/3
Prince is a 3/4
Kuzma is a 4
Smith is a 4
Giannis is a 4/5
Portis is a 4/5
Turner is a 5
Sims is a 5

They need to move Kuzma and AJax for a real 3. They have their guard depth now.
Jackson is so far back on the roster he's not impacting any roster movement. They can literally cut him

He is in theory a better floor spacer to play off GA but GA and KPJ have that insane chemistry, although maybe you save that for closing lineups and let GA cook with off ball starters during the first then let KPJ get going against bench lineups.

If Giannis were still 25 lbs lighter this would be a great strategy.
Regardless of the defensive deficiencies this team is going to light up the scoreboard.

He will be our best defender and he will be a rebounding demon for us. He can be POA and stretch the floor + handle it enough.

Kpj needs the ball in his hands, he wont be on the court with giannis much imo

He’s good insurance in case KPJ can’t handle the job for whatever reason. KPJ has to be our guy to start though

26/6 off the bench 3 months ago in a play in game.

Anthony is fine. If we’re relying on him to be, well, reliable then we’re in for a spot of bother. But as a depth guy who can have a big game every now and then he’s fine.

I wonder what sort of promises were made to him about playing time to sign here though.

Cole's got an edge to him that I like, don't love him as a player too much but for nothing yeah he's cool.

The best part of Cole Anthony is that he's not Russell Westbrook

Not the biggest fan of his, but he should see a nice uptick in efficiency hopefully and he’s a proven guy that can carry a game offensively once every 5-10 games

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
