|
| |  | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: The Bucks hope to fill a gaping hole at point guard with a committee approach. BRANDON KNIGHT, an undersized, athletically-overmatched combo guard, will get first crack at the job . . . Ex-Laker KENDALL MARSHALL, a heady floor general who can't shoot or defend, is an option as well . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON, a spot-up shooter, has a good chance to retain his starting job . . . New head coach Jason Kidd will try to rebuild O.J. MAYO, who could emerge as a serviceable sixth man, but looked wholly disinterested last season . . . The arrival of Marshall likely pushes NATE WOLTERS out of the rotation. He could be ticketed for the D-League at some point this season. FORWARDS: JABARI PARKER becomes the new face of this franchise. He can score as well as facilitate the offense. The only real question is what kind of defensive effort he puts in . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO will be used at both forward spots and both guard spots as well. The Greek Freak is raw, but the Bucks will expand his role . . . After a season in Larry Drew's doghouse, the coaching change should bode well for ERSAN ILYASOVA. He's likely looking at a part-time role . . . JOHN HENSON will play some 4 and 5, though his lack of an offensive game limits his appeal . . . JOHNNY O'BRYANT III might push for a rotation spot once he returns from a knee injury in late November. He's one of the few big men on this team who can score around the basket . . . If DAMIEN INGLIS comes over, he's looking at a D-League stint. CENTERS: Kidd is a LARRY SANDERS believer, so after a season filled with injuries and knucklehead behavior, he'll have every chance to bounce back. When he's in the right place, he's an elite rim protector . . . Larry Drew favorite ZAZA PACHULIA is looking at a traditional back-up role now that Drew is gone. | | DETROIT: GUARDS: New head coach Stan Van Gundy's system is perfect for BRANDON JENNINGS, as it is heavy on high pick-and-rolls, which is where Jennings is most dangerous. He'll never be an efficient scorer . . . Detroit gave a good chunk of change to JODIE MEEKS, so he's likely to start as a spot-up shooter when he returns from a back injury in January . . . A Tskitishvili Award-winner as one of the stars of Summer League, KENTAVIOUS CALDWELL-POPE has a shot to carve out sixth-man minutes . . . After a mini-breakout with Chicago, D.J. AUGUSTIN is the insurance policy behind Jennings. He's also a great fit for Van Gundy's system . . . WILL BYNUM has been downright solid with the second unit, but he'll have to play his way back into the rotation . . . This is a redshirt season for SPENCER DINWIDDIE as he comes back from a torn ACL. FORWARDS: They'll keep shopping JOSH SMITH, who is miscast as a 3 on this roster . . . KYLE SINGLER will continue to see solid part-time minutes. He can play both wing spots and has become a good enough threat on corner threes . . . CARON BUTLER joins a crowded frontcourt. He's evolved into a three-point specialist in the latter part of his career . . . Van Gundy is a JONAS JEREBKO believer. The stretch-4 fell out of favor the past two seasons, but he has a chance to earn a big role off the bench . . . CARTIER MARTIN gives them another athletic wing who can shoot the three . . . Euro import LUIGI DATOME was a big disappointment last season. He'll have a tough time breaking into this rotation . . . TONY MITCHELL might be looking at another year in the D-League . . . GREG MONROE is an everyday double-double threat. He'll fill the stat sheet as he plays for a contract for next season. CENTERS: ANDRE DRUMMOND is a monster on the boards with Defensive Player of the Year upside once he improves in space. Offensively, he can dunk but not much else . . . AARON GRAY is here to fill out the roster once he's cleared to return from his heart problems. |

*Bucks-Pistons Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Milwaukee (9-7) at Detroit (3-12), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Thanks in part to a renewed focus on defense, the Milwaukee Bucks are back on track during their best start in nine years.
Looking to stymie offensively challenged Detroit for the second time in four days, the surprising Bucks can match a season high with a third straight win Friday night, while the last-place Pistons will try to avoid their longest losing streak in 20 months.
Milwaukee (9-7) allowed an average of 116.5 points on 50.1 percent shooting - 43.4 from 3-point range - during a recent four-game stretch that included back-to-back losses against Toronto and Washington.
The Bucks, however, tightened things up as they pulled away for a 98-86 home win over the Pistons on Tuesday and limited Minnesota to 38.3 percent shooting, including 3 of 14 from beyond the arc, in a 103-86 road win the following night.
Milwaukee matched season highs with 12 steals and seven blocks Wednesday and has forced 19 turnovers in each of the last two contests. Larry Sanders has 10 blocks over his last three for the Bucks, who have won seven of their last 10.
"I thought defensively, Larry, everyone that was on the floor was at a very high level," coach Jason Kidd said Wednesday after his club secured its best 16-game start since the 2005-06 season, which ended with the Bucks at 40-42.
Milwaukee is facing Detroit (3-12) for already the third time this season. The Bucks struggled to slow the Pistons in a 98-95 road loss Nov. 7 before holding them under 20 points in each of the final three quarters Tuesday.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led six players in double figures with 19 points and Detroit shot 49.3 percent from the field and 11 of 23 from beyond the arc in its home win. Caldwell-Pope was held to six on 2-of-9 shooting Tuesday.
After averaging 8.7 points and shooting 39.7 percent in his first 13 games, Andre Drummond has totaled 40 on 17-of-26 shooting in his last two. He's also averaging 15.8 points and 13.4 rebounds over five consecutive double-doubles versus Milwaukee after scoring a season high 23 with 10 boards Tuesday.
The Pistons, though, are scoring 90.0 per game on 41.2 percent shooting during their losing streak following Wednesday's 104-98 home loss the Los Angeles Clippers. They haven't dropped seven in a row since a 10-game skid in March 2013.
Detroit has also dropped four straight at the Palace of Auburn Hills, where the Bucks have lost three in a row.
"I've never been in this situation," said Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy, who hasn't had a losing record nor missed the playoffs in any of his seven full seasons as an NBA coach.
D.J. Augustin finished with a team-high 19 points Wednesday while starting his second game in place of injured guard Brandon Jennings, whose status is uncertain due to a sprained left thumb. Jennings has scored 19.4 per game while making 18 of 34 from 3-point range in five meetings with his former club.
Milwaukee's Brandon Knight is averaging a team-high 18.0 points and has scored 20.7 in his last three versus his old team. Rookie Jabari Parker has totaled 32 points and 14 rebounds while going 15 of 24 from the field in this season's series.
