(1/8) Alright time to talk about Buds rotations. The most important thing to point out is that only one line up configuration has been used all 6 games and that is the starters. Bud is still trying to figure out how to put the puzzle together with the Bench.
(2/8) Buds first subs off the Bench have been Portis & Augustin creating a line up of those two, along with Jrue, Khris, and Giannis. That is the Bucks second most used line up outside the starters. The line up stats include:
18 minutes
+16
107 Off Rtg
71 Def Rtg
59% TS%
18 minutes
+16
107 Off Rtg
71 Def Rtg
59% TS%
(3/8) The last four minutes of the first quarter is what Bud is still trying to figure out. It’s important to note that some bench guys won’t work together due to their limitations. For example Forbes and Augustin have played together for 19 minutes and have a -7.1 net rating
(4/8) As of now Bud is trying to have Khris or Jrue play the whole first quarter and run the offense to end the quarter with varying results. Last night Khris ran ISO’s and post ups during this time.
(5/8) The obvious problem is that Khris is tired during this time and they need someone else to make plays. This is where Augustin needs to step up and run some P&R or we will end up with limited playmakers trying to play make.
(6/8) One line up that has clicked is Lopez, Giannis, Pat, Forbes, And Donte to start the second quarter (Net Rating +66.5! In 9 mins). This line up really spreads the court for Giannis and incorporating the Forbes pick and pop is only going to make it more dangerous
(7/8) After that Bud staggers the big 3 by have Giannis play the first 9 minutes, Holiday the last 8 minutes, and Middleton the last 6 minutes. This should all be encouraging because Bud is extending their minute load with all 3 being around 17 minutes at the half.
(8/8) Last thing to note is that I think Nwora will work his way into the rotation soon. He is currently 12th in points and 19th in minutes for all rookies. Bud likes to slow play it with young guys but it will be hard to keep him on the bench if he keeps doing this
