Man, Both of these teams suck pretty bad.
Bucks are unimpressive without Middleton. A good team but no contender. Pretty ugly to watch with how one dimensional they are without him.
They definitely need Middleton to be a championship level team because he is the only guy aside from Giannis that can consistently generate offense for both himself and others. The Bucks were also down Connaughton and they do actually need his shooting and overall pesky play to really click. That doesn't even account for Ingles who they obviously knew would be out awhile.
I think Jrue can also consistently generate offense for himself and others. Ideally he's the 3rd man, putting in 16 to 18 ppg, rather than being called upon to be the second scorer.
I don't think Jrue consistently generates for himself. He can certainly do it, but I don't think he is a guy that you can give the ball to and get out of the way and he gets a good look 90+% of the time. So yeah, he is a 3rd scorer type because that is typically what those guys are. I think he and Brogdon are pretty similar in that regard. Really solid 3rd scoring options.
