Quiet Cole Anthony truth could force Doc Rivers to rethink rotation
Boston Celtics v Orlando Magic | Julio Aguilar/GettyImagesThe starting job at point guard in Milwaukee is Kevin Porter Jr.'s to lose. That much seems clear, as it has been the expectation for months.
While Porter seems like the obvious choice to begin the season, things could change if he struggles to reacclimate to a starting role. Based on Ryan Rollins' usage last season, which included 19 starts in Milwaukee, many might project him as the next man up. Such speculation makes sense, but don't count out Cole Anthony entirely. Provided he tightens up defensively, he has an overlooked case bolstered by his numbers as a Magic starter in 2024-25.
