Who should start for the Bucks at centre?

The centre rotation is nowhere near as jammed up as the guard rotation with three viable options at the five: Myles Turner , Kel'el Ware, and Jericho Sims . With Giannis gone, suddenly each of these players—less so for Sims—will have a license to explore the studio space just that little bit more. The "shooting bigs" will also have the chance to roll, while Sims will have more opportunities in general because he no longer has to be separated from a non-shooting power forward in GA.

As the "elder statesman" of the team, Turner is an obvious choice to start— and majority of fans agree —if only to revive his trade value. I feel like last year's fit with Turner and Giannis was good in theory, but it did lead to Turner standing stationary on the three-point line a lot of the time as Giannis bulldozed, when he has way more to offer than that. Like, Doc really wasn't creative at all with how he utilised Turner, and now that Giannis is gone, he will surely be more involved. Get him screening more, rolling, popping, setting flare screens—all the stuff that made him so valuable with the Pacers . I don't know about you guys, but I think MT is in for a big season (for however much of it that he's wearing a Bucks uniform).

If you're willing to give second chances, choose Turner. If not, turn to OPTION 2.
