The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling out a starting five on Saturday that looks like a fantasy draft auto-picked after the Wi-Fi dropped. According to Underdog NBA, Milwaukee will start Ryan Rollins, Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kyle Kuzma, and Myles Turner against the Philadelphia 76ers.
This is the kind of lineup you throw at the wall when your defense has completely stopped answering the phone. The Bucks are coming off back-to-back track meets, giving up 128 points to the Washington Wizards and 132 to the Chicago Bulls.
"Fans on social media called the decision to bench Kel'el Ware for Myles Turner 'disgusting.'"
Tyler Herro is currently operating with the usage rate of a solo podcast host. He is averaging a massive 29.0 points and 6.5 assists per game, and with this group on the floor, he has the ultimate green light to shoot until his arm falls off.
Ryan Rollins is also getting a massive opportunity at point guard. He just paced the team with 24 points on 22 shot attempts in a recent loss, proving he is more than willing to get his attempts up alongside Herro and Kuzma.
The internet reaction is exactly as chaotic as you would expect. Bucks fans are flooding the replies demanding that Kel'el Ware take Turner's spot in the frontcourt, calling the decision to bench the young big man disgusting.
For the degenerate community, this starting five creates an immediate scramble. Kyle Kuzma assist props were playing hide-and-seek on the boards earlier in the week, and Herro's points-plus-assists lines are going to be inflated to the moon.
Milwaukee tips off against Philadelphia late Saturday night. If this five-man unit cannot figure out how to get a single defensive stop, they are going to need Herro to drop a 50-piece just to keep the game in single digits.
