Overview
In total, Jason Kidd has designed a pretty solid starting lineup. They are set on focusing their offense through their two stars in Jabari and Giannis with solid chemistry pieces to put around them. Matthew Dellavedova presents a good fit because of his ability to knock down the open three, especially off the catch-and shoot. He is also an outstanding on-ball defender that should help the team that saw a dramatic drop in defensive efficiency from two seasons ago to last season.
Then, the shooting guard position could be filled by Rashad Vaughn, who is hoping to see a huge rise in his three-point percentage this season. He came into the league looking to be a knockdown shooter, and it is time to reach that goal. His low usage rate of 13.5 percent also contributes to the idea that he does not need the ball in his hands to succeed. In college, he excelled in working off the ball and can get his shot off in multiple different ways.
Next in the lineup are the two stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker. They are the key to the entire Bucks’ roster this season because without a big leap in their production, the team will really struggle. Giannis and Jabari both have All-Star potential in their careers, but they need to start realizing that and getting down to business as a dynamic duo.
Lastly, the lineup is rounded out by Miles Plumlee. The 27-year-old center is the oldest player in the starting lineup and will anchor the defense down low. His athleticism is a great fit next to the attacking stars of Giannis and Jabari, who can create an instant pick-and-roll combination with him.
