5 Bucks who could get axed from Doc Rivers' playoff rotation

4. Jae Crowder

Jae Crowder has been on a tear of late, averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in his last five games. Crowder has also made 50 percent of his triples during that span, on a solid 3.2 attempts.

And he's been his usual self on defense, making life miserable for opponents and being a pest. And he's especially effective against bigger wings.

Not to mention his elite cutting ability, in addition to his ability to finish at the rim.

However, Crowder has a tendency to struggle from behind the arc in the postseason, and the Bucks will desperately need long-range shooting in the postseason. Speaking of which, Crowder has also been very inconsistent offensively, to put it politely.

He had a string of up-and-down performances while Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was sidelined, which isn't going to cut it in the playoffs.

Crowder also gets lost in the tough guy act, at times. 

He is oftentimes the aggressor in dust-ups, which lead to more trips to the line for opponents. This isn't really conducive for postseason basketball, as every possession matters against teams that are every bit as good as you, or in some cases better than you.

Crowder has racked up four technicals this season, despite missing 31 games. And if his shot isn't falling, he can't make up for those free trips to the line that he surrenders.

And none of this even mentions the possibility of Danilo Gallinari eating into his workload.
