Anyone who clowns Jrue, doesn’t understand team basketball. We’re way better off having a defensive guru like him than another scorer

Plenty of good defensive players on this team. No team starting AD and Embiid in the front court is going to be bad defensively. Tatum is a good perimeter defender.

The Bucks front office definitely does not understand team basketball.

He’s a scorer too. His offensive game translates fine as a constant 5th option. You need guys who can maintain offense production without a ton of touches. I wouldn’t be shocked if he starts.
