Current Players Draft First Round: Howard vs. Hack

[RandyForRubio]

I should've started Gallo.

Is Khris Middelton still one of the best perimeter defenders in the league? How did his stats look on defense this year? I watched the bucks play less this year than last but he did seem to do his usual. Keep his hands up and make proper rotations. But players got past him pretty easily. Statistically it looks like his 3pt defense was good since he closes out and gets his hands up but inside the ark players did pretty well against him. But defensive stats that dont matter much. Bucks team defense got worse and all the players individual stats on defense got worse. Except the stats say Novak was an MVP on defense in his limited minutes.

He did take a big step up offensively, more than I thought he would. Although not sure how or if that translated into winning.

Having Porter as a starter hurts but not as bad as having Martin. But I guess neither of those is as bad as having Bosh since he is out indefinitely. Not sure if his career is over or not. I assume lineups redone would have for Bern Galio and Lopez and Hack would have Lavine in as starters? so its

Russell Westbrook *VS* Kyrie Irving
Khris Middleton *VS* Zach Lavine
Danilo Gallinari *VS* Chandler Parsons
Serge Ibaka *VS* Anthony Davis
Brook Lopez *VS* Derrick Favors

That's a pretty close one imo. I would give it to bern but AD makes me pause.

I still probably give a very very slight edge to bern

IDK why you would want to start Galo at SF. That would be a huge mistake.

Just use him as a 6th man, Porter is a good starter.

In my defense, Bosh was healthy at the time. I believe we also did this with the premise of all players being healthy.
