Bucks Roll Out 2K-Style Starting Five Against Bulls

The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling out a starting five on Friday that looks like a 2K MyLeague simulation where the user accidentally skipped the entire offseason.

According to Underdog NBA, Milwaukee is officially starting Ryan Rollins, Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner against the Chicago Bulls.

"Fans on social media expressed disgust over Kel'el Ware coming off the bench."

If you had this exact quintet on your Bucks bingo card a couple of years ago, you should probably be investigated for time travel. It is a fascinating mix of high-usage castoffs and young guys trying to prove they belong in an NBA rotation.

Herro is already eating up possessions as the primary engine of this new-look offense. He dropped 24 points and nine assists in Wednesday's 128-116 loss to the Washington Wizards. Meanwhile, Rollins is suddenly looking like a waiver-wire hero after recently erupting for a career-high 36 points.

For anyone firing up player props or setting daily fantasy lineups, this rotation is a goldmine of volume. Herro is going to have the ultimate green light, and Kuzma has never met a shot he did not like.

The real comedy is happening on the timeline, where fans are losing their minds over Kel'el Ware being relegated to the bench. When you have a highly touted young big man sitting behind a veteran like Turner, the group chats are going to get toxic fast.

We will see if this island of misfit toys can actually defend anyone when the Bulls come to town on Friday night. If they get run off their home floor again, expect the calls for Ware to start getting a whole lot louder before they travel to play the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.
