More or less, Giannis will come off the bench. MCW/Middleton/Parker/Henson/Monroe plus you have dudley, bayless and mayo and now Giannis off the bench. I think pachulia is still in their roster so that's a pretty balance team.
That's a really good young group of players. I don't think there's any way that Giannis comes off the bench, though.
I would be wary of a Parker/Monroe front court. Parker hasn't had time to develop yet, but he was a terrible defender in college and was terrible as a rookie. His rookie numbers wouldn't be as alarming if Jabari weren't so poor as a defender in college. He will need a good rim defender next to him and Monroe is not that.
Monroe was 36th out of 40 players who had to face at least 7 shots per game at the rim in DFG% at 55%. Andy, KLove, Big Al Jeff were all better. That's not good.
Players Jabari guarded shot 51.6% against him compared to 44.6% against everyone else.
From less than 10 feet, players he guarded shot
68.2%!! and 53.9% against everyone else. Parker's RPM was -2.70,
434th out of 474 players. His
defensive RPM was -2.64, 440th out of 474 players.
He was bottom 20% in post up defense, bottom 32% on pick and roll defense, though top 36% in ISO.
Bucks ORtg with Jabari on court: 101.2
Bucks ORtg with Jabari off court: 103.3 (Bucks 2.1 points per 100 possessions
better with Jabari off court)
Bucks DRtg with Jabari on court: 107.8
Bucks DRtg with Jabari off court: 100.9 (Bucks 6.9 points per 100 possessions
better with Jabari of court)
In total, the Bucks are 9 points per 100 possessions BETTER with Jabari off court. Now, I'm going to assume he gets better defensively and continues to improve offensively, but it will be interesting to see how he fits in with the defensive-minded other starters. With him off the court, the Bucks are a defensive juggernaut. With him on court, they were not.
