Milwaukee Bucks: Trying to figure out the Bucks rotation with the current roster
By Ti Windisch
The Milwaukee Bucks have a weird roster right now. Here’s how the team’s rotation might look if the season started tomorrow.
The following is a series of facts about the Milwaukee Bucks. Some of them are obvious, sure, but to make a point you’ve got to start somewhere.
First and foremost, the Milwaukee Bucks are a basketball team who play in the NBA. As such, they have 15 roster spots (plus two two-way contract spots) they can use to sign NBA players to play for them.
The Bucks have to play 82 regular season games and hopefully more than a couple of playoff games, all starting in October. It is currently July, and the Bucks have 15 players signed to their 15 roster spots plus two players signed to two-way contracts.

In short, pending some potentially disastrous roster moves, the Bucks are done for the moment. The roster isn’t set in stone, but it’s possible nothing changes before October and Jason Kidd is tasked with building a rotation out of these 15 players.
We’re going to ignore Bronson Koenig and Jalen Moore, the two-way deal guys, for now. They can only be with the NBA team for 45 days before they’d have to be signed, and that would take a spot away from one of the other 15 anyway.
So, position by position, here’s an idea of what the Milwaukee Bucks rotation could look like to start the 2017-18 NBA season. Buckle up.
