The Milwaukee Bucks had Kevin Porter Jr. running the point for all of nine minutes this season before the injuries came knocking. Ryan Rollins has taken flight in his absence, but the lack of playmaking behind him is starting to show. Without Porter, the Bucks have precious little shot creation to keep the offense humming, particularly when Giannis Antetokounmpo takes a seat or sits out.
Although they managed to get by for a while, it's now becoming a problem.
