Interchangeablilty
The key to the Bucks potential is that players are largely interchangeable. Jabari and Giannis can both play either forward spot, and Giannis has shown that he can arguably play two-five in the right matchups. Middleton can play the two or three.
Greivis Vasquez can run at either guard spot.. Copeland can play both forward spots. Monroe and Henson are the only ones that are really stuck at one position (even though they could potentially alternate also), but that doesn’t stand to be much of a weakness, as the alternative would be running with a small ball lineup which takes them out of the equation.
The Bucks spacing should be nothing to worry about, especially if Giannis and Jabari are working on developing their outside shooting. MCW is the weak link at this point, but Vasquez is here as insurance in case he doesn’t continue to improve.
We’re still a few years away from our best players hitting their primes. Rebuilds take time, and our Bucks are coming together faster than anyone anticipated. The thing to do now is let them play together and develop a chemistry that will really give them an advantage when they reach their potential.`
