Bucks Roll Out Chaotic 2K-Style Starting Five
Underdog NBA tweeted: 'Lineup alert: Bucks will start Burries, Herro, Jaquez Jr., Kuzma, Turner on Monday.'
The are rolling out a starting five that looks like a glitch in the NBA matrix. According to Underdog NBA, Milwaukee is officially starting Alec Burks, Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner on Monday.
This is a chaotic mix of shot creation and pure vibes. Herro and Kuzma are going to absorb all the usage they can physically handle, making them immediate targets for anyone looking at points props or daily fantasy volume.
The Bucks desperately need something to click. They are currently sitting at a miserable 1-5 record and are giving up over 126 points per game, which ranks near the absolute bottom of the league.
They just got completely dismantled by the Cleveland Cavaliers 136-111, and before that, the Houston Rockets hung 132 on them. Relying on Turner at the five is a clear mandate to actually protect the rim before the season completely slips away.
This roster construction feels like a 2K simulation where someone accidentally turned off the salary cap and just started mashing the trade override button. Throwing Burks into the mix with a usage-heavy duo like Herro and Kuzma means his only real job is to get the ball across halfcourt and immediately get out of the way.
We will see if this five-man unit has the defensive chops to survive. If Turner can anchor the paint and Jaquez Jr. can glue the perimeter together, this weirdly constructed lineup might just have enough firepower to keep from completely sinking before their upcoming gauntlet against the and Boston .
