Chapter 371: Bucks roster

"Head coach, this is the current large list of teams, please look over."
Watching the new assistant coach report to the team list in front of him, Wang Xiao rubbed his brow slightly.
After the official closing of the Incheon Asian Games on October 4, Wang Xiao didn't even have time to return to China to attend the celebration feast. He hurried to Milwaukee.
The first game of the new season preseason begins on October 5.
The Bucks' first preseason game was on October 7.
Even so, Wang Xiao's schedule is still very tight. In just two or three days, he needs to be familiar with all the Bucks' management personnel, develop training plans and tactics, and determine the starting list...
To this end, the Bucks general manager John Hammond has called several times to urge Wang Xiao to take over the team as soon as possible.
For Wang Xiao, a legendary coach, Hammond's psychology is quite complicated.
Wang Xiao’s conditions for coaching the Bucks are exactly the same as those for the Wizards. The draft, trading, and contract renewal can be grasped. Even with the acquiescence of the team’s new boss, more management can be involved. This is completely Violated the rights and interests of the general manager.
But at the same time, the arrival of Wang Xiao makes Hammond very happy. After working in the position of the general manager of the Bucks for many years, Hammond has already had a certain feeling for this team, whether it is due to professional ethics or Personally, he wants the Bucks to become the league's mighty team rather than always serving as the squat team in the NBA.
Wang Xiao's coaching ability has been fully confirmed by the Wizards. The three consecutive championships and the first record of 73 wins are the most brilliant achievements in Wang Xiao's personal resume.
As the general manager of the Bucks, Hammond knows that Wang Xiao has acquired some of the Bucks’ trading rights through the current team owner last season. The recruitment of several players within.
Although Wang Xiao has not officially taken over the team, more than one-third of the players in the team have actually been selected by Wang Xiao.
What Wang Xiao is looking at now is a complete list of the Bucks.
Currently, the Bucks have a total of twelve players.
PG point guard position two players, Brandon Knight, Jerry Bayles.
Two SG shooting guards, Victor Oladipo, O.J. Mayo.
Two SF small forward positions: Yannis Adetokounmpo, Chris Middleton.
Three PF power forwards: Joel Embiid, Eisen Ilyasova, Larry Sanders.
Three C positions: Nikola Jokic, Zaza Pachulia, John Hansen.
From the lineup alone, the Bucks lineup is still good.
Although these players are still unknown, they have a regular season MVP (Alphabet) and four All-Star players (Embid, Jokic, Oladipo, Middleton.)
As long as it is slightly polished, combined with the system's training bonus, it should be possible to improve the strength of these players in a very short time. Even if they cannot win the championship, it is enough to maintain a strong competitiveness in the league.
The reason why it is impossible to win the championship is partly because the league now has two giants, one is the invincible dynasty Washington Wizards created by Wang Xiaobeast, and the other is the Cleveland Cavaliers, a super giant team that has been established without hesitation. .
On the other hand, it is the current bucks lineup has obvious
Short board.
The first problem is the firepower of the outside.

The three-point ability of the first core letter brother naturally need not be said, even in the future season to get the regular season MVP, Adetokounmpo's three-pointer is still a short board, and the shooting rate is less than three.
Oladipo, Jokic and Embiid have a certain three-point ability, but it is definitely not stable, and it is completely incomparable with the Wizards' almost three-point lineup.
The most accurate three-pointer among these people is Middleton with a career three-point percentage of nearly 40%.
The trend of the NBA in the future must be a fast break style with small and three-pointers as the focus.
The Bucks' lineup fast break is naturally not a problem, but the three-pointer is definitely not an advantage.
Secondly, the point guard position has obvious shortcomings.
Not much to say about bench players like Jerry Bayles.
The team's starting point guard Brandon Knight as a role player last year was barely okay, and he has also had a highlight of 19 points and 4 assists per game in his career.
But that's all.
The lack of outside scoring ability makes Knight's scoring ability limited to breaking through this path, and Knight's defensive ability can only be quite satisfactory, and the enthusiasm is good, but his own ability and talent are not enough to make him like Bever. Defensive vanguard like Lee.
Wang Xiao remembered that Knight's only honor was the best rookie for a while.
If on other teams, Knight is no problem as a starting point guard, but not on the Bucks.
Because the Bucks have a Greek monster named Yannis Adetokounmpo.
The letter brother who grows up in the future can be said to be the best in the world.
The horrible height, wingspan, and unparalleled explosive power make the breakthrough of the alphabet brother more lethal than the young James.
Wang Xiao is bound to maximize the ability of the letter brother, in this case, there are not many opportunities for Knight.
More suitable for Adetokounmpo's point guard is the kind of player who is good at fixed-point shooting and excellent defensive ability, not an attacking guard who is good at breaking through the ball frame.
Unfortunately, it is suitable for the Bucks, or at the price that the Bucks can give, it is difficult to get Wang Xiao's favorite point guard.
So Wang Xiao decided to give Knight a season to try. If Knight can't develop a stable three-pointer and defensive ability under the bonus of the training module, then he can only trade it during the contract year.
The second point is that of Embiid.
Like another time and space, Embiid chose surgery to be reimbursed for the season and will miss all games for the entire season of 14-15.
This means that Wang Xiao will lack an attacking and defending general.
This is also impossible. The so-called fish and bear paw cannot have both. In the future, the league is extremely short of excellent big men. Like Embiid, he can average 27.5 points, 13.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the future. It is a pity to miss it. .
Without Embiid, the Wizards’ lineup is naturally affected to a certain extent. The brother of the alphabet must be pushed to the position of the power forward. Although it is not a problem to play the power forward with his height, the brother of the alphabet in the 14-year period is still thin. The bamboo pole has failed to gain weight to the extent of the future mass killing machine, and it may take a lot of time to adapt.
"How to say, the difficulty is a little bit bigger."
Wang Xiao is ready to start a bitter battle.
