|
| | | 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. | | CHARLOTTE: GUARDS: LANCE STEPHENSON started chucking and padding stats after missing the All-Star team last season, fueling Indiana's collapse. He's a potentially solid role player, but if he tries to be the alpha for the Hornets, it could be a long season . . . KEMBA WALKER has become a solid playmaker, though he'll lose some touches while playing alongside Stephenson . . . The Hornets seem to be done with GERALD HENDERSON, who will stay in the rotation, but see a reduced role with all the Hornets' offseason acquisitions . . . GARY NEAL can play both guard spots as a high-scoring sixth man . . . P.J. HAIRSTON needs to stay out of trouble off the court if he's to have any chance of becoming a three-point specialist off the bench . . . BRIAN ROBERTS steps in as a No. 3 point guard. FORWARDS: Charlotte reloaded in the frontcourt, but MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST will likely claim a starting job due to his defense. It's probably time to accept that MKG will never have much of an offensive game . . . CODY ZELLER will have every opportunity to grab a starting job early on. Unfortunately, his inability to score in traffic limits his effectiveness . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS will see major minutes at both forward spots. He's a capable defender who has added a three-point shot to his repertoire . . . He's still a teenager, so he may not carve out major minutes this year, but NOAH VONLEH has by far the most upside among their 4's and 5's. He's a potentially elite stretch-4 . . . JEFF TAYLOR's Achilles is close to 100 percent. He has a shot to re-claim a rotation spot. CENTERS: AL JEFFERSON is a flawed player, but he gives Charlotte exactly what the team is looking for: A low-post threat on the offensive end of the court. Like Walker, he'll also suffer a bit with Stephenson coming in, but he's still the focal point of this offense . . . He's not quite a bust because he can defend, but BISMACK BIYOMBO hasn't shown any semblance of an offensive game. |

*Bucks-Hornets Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Milwaukee (15-16) at Charlotte (10-21), 7:00 p.m. EDT
With Kemba Walker providing some heroics, the Charlotte Hornets have been able to extend a franchise-best winning streak against the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks.
Although his latest outstanding effort couldn't prevent a second straight loss, Walker will try to help the host Hornets capture their second win in seven days and eighth in a row against the Bucks on Monday night.
Walker finished with 26 points in a season-opening 108-106 overtime home win that included a 24-point second-half comeback - the largest in Charlotte history, both Bobcats and Hornets. He hit the tying 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left in regulation before sinking a winning jumper with five seconds left in overtime.
The point guard then had a team-high 27 points in Tuesday's 108-101 win at Milwaukee, leaving him with a 23.8 average during a season-best four-game winning streak. He's also averaged 24.8 points and 6.8 assists while committing just seven turnovers in Charlotte's last four victories over Milwaukee (15-16).
After scoring six on 2-of-13 shooting in Friday's 98-75 defeat at Oklahoma City, Walker responded with a career-high 42 and a season-high five 3-pointers in a 102-94 loss to visiting Orlando the next night.
"(Walker) can be a cornerstone player for teams that go deep into the playoffs because of his competitiveness," coach Steve Clifford said. "He just has a competitive spirit that is contagious to me. He played 42 minutes back-to-back and did not want to come out (of the game). He kept us in the game."
The rest of the Hornets, however, shot 38.1 percent while hitting only three 3s Saturday after the club had put up a season-low 28.7 field-goal percentage - including 5 of 24 shooting from beyond the arc - against the Thunder.
Charlotte (10-21) had scored 107.8 per game on 47.3 percent shooting during its winning streak.
Center Al Jefferson has struggled while trying to play through a groin injury, averaging 10.0 points on just 9.7 field-goal attempts over his last three games.
The Southeast Division-worst Hornets hope to get back on track by extending a run against Milwaukee that dates to April 2013, though the last two matchups in Charlotte have been decided in overtime.
The Bucks, who have dropped nine of 14, also look to turn things around offensively. They shot 38.8 percent in a 90-85 home loss to Atlanta on Saturday after averaging 104.5 points with a 50.2 field-goal percentage in their previous four games.
Khris Middleton matched a season high with 21 points and hit 5 of 8 from 3-point range for the Bucks, who will again be without Jabari Parker (knee), Larry Sanders (illness) and Ersan Ilyasova (concussion).
Brandon Knight, the team leader with 17.7 points per game, scored only 10 on 4-of-12 shooting Saturday. He's averaged 25.8 points and 9.8 assists while sinking 11 of 23 from 3-point range in his last four against the Hornets.
The Bucks hope to do better on the boards with a minus-9.0 rebounding margin in the series, but that might be difficult without Sanders' team-high 6.1 boards per game. Milwaukee ranks in the NBA's bottom third with a minus-1.6 margin on the season.
"'We can't let the other team get second chance opportunities," said center Zaza Pachulia, who has totaled 25 points and 23 rebounds while starting the last two games in place of Sanders.
Charlotte is expected to be without swingman Lance Stephenson for a seventh straight game because of a hip injury.
