Looks like I don't have a place to post it yet, and I'm working all day, so this may be my only chance, so:
Your 2016 CBD Milwaukee BucksDepth chart (minutes)
PG: Chris Paul (33) / Zach LaVine (6) / Jarrett Jack (9) / Shane Larkin
SG: Arron Afflalo (20) / Zach LaVine (24) / Lance Stephenson (4) / John Jenkins
SF: Jeff Green (30) / Tobias Harris (12) Lance Stephenson (4) / Nick Young (2)
PF: Tobias Harris (20) / Donatas Motiejunas (14) / Frank Kaminsky (14)
C: Dwight Howard (30) / Cole Aldrich (12) / Frank Kaminsky (6) / JaVale McGee
Coach: Jason Kidd
Guys who shot 35% or better from three last season: Paul, LaVine, Afflalo, Stephenson, Harris (with Detroit).
With shooting and athleticism at every position, Milwaukee has the depth to go small and bomb the hoop from behind the three-point line. Packed with veteran talent and versatile young players, the Bucks will be able to score with anyone in the league. We're relying on LaVine and Harris, two freak athletes, to take the next natural step in their progression as players. If they can continue to create mismatches offensively, they'll power a team set up by Chris Paul and flushed away by Dwight Howard in the pick and roll. Lots and lots of ways to hurt you in MKE.
Defensively, this team will rely on Howard and Aldrich to be anchors in the paint while relying on Kidd to get the most out of his athletes like he did in 2014-15. No, there isn't a Greek Freak on the roster, but there's enough flexibility here to throw several different looks at opponents.
The X factors here? Motiejunas hasn't been healthy since 2014-15, but he says he's good to go for this fall. If he can return to the form that helped him average 12 and 6 while shooting over 50% from the field (and 36.8% from three), he'll give this team a major boost and more flexibility up front. Kaminsky isn't a great defender, but he can stretch the floor and clog the lane. Using him to dare Miami to shoot was a big, big factor in CHA's game three playoff win against the Heat last spring (

And then there's the depth. The weird, sorta questionable depth. Guys like Jack, Stephenson, Young, and McGee are hit or miss guys. If I get two of them to play at the level they're capable, it's a win. If not, we cobble an eight-man rotation of Paul, LaVine, Afflalo, Green, Harris, (Motiejunas or Kaminsky), Howard, and Aldrich.
I like it.
