Bobby Portis is too good to ignore, but also just maybe too specific to fully fit.
On paper, the Milwaukee Bucks have spent the offseason building a roster around speed, defense, and versatility. Guys like Kevin Porter Jr., Cole Anthony, and even Jericho Sims fit the direction: quick-footed, switchable, and capable of playing at the faster pace Doc Rivers wants.
"If we were a slow, big team, I wouldn’t try to play like that. We are changing because I think that’s how we have to play," Rivers was quoted as saying by Eric Nehm of The Athletic ahead of the preseason exhibitions.
