Bucks' obvious starting 5 compromise would not be popular with fans

Now that the dust has settled on an active offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks have starting-lineup clarity at all but one position, which is small forward.

Of Doc Rivers' small forward options, deploying AJ Green or, alternatively, Gary Trent Jr. with Green at shooting guard, seems to be the social media favorite among fans. That choice also gives the Bucks a chance to re-create their most effective unit from last season. Although both Green and Trent can play up, this approach leaves them vulnerable to traditional threes on defense.

At the other end of the spectrum is Kyle Kuzma, who took the starting job in his second game in Milwaukee and held it almost until the very end.
