The Bucks will start Lindell Wigginton, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Jae Crowder and Malik Beasley on Sunday vs. Chicago.
Most of Milwaukee’s regular starters will get this preseason game off, with Brook Lopez the lone exception. Summer League standout Lindell Wigginton will get a chance to keep up his strong play at home after showing off his skills as a scorer back in July. It’s unclear if Malik Beasley will get a chance to start this season with the departures of Jrue Holiday and Grayson Allen, but he and Crowder should see plenty of minutes off the bench regardless. Bobby P should play a pivotal role off the bench as a high-level rebounder, as he has for each of the last two seasons.
Lindell Wigginton led the Bucks in scoring on Thursday with 15 points (4-for-5 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and two 3-pointers in a 99-94 loss to Miami.
Milwaukee doesn’t have much talent on their Summer League roster, but Wigginton has been their best player over their last two games. Still, he’ll likely spend most of his time in the G-League once again after suiting up the Wisconsin Herd for the majority of his first two seasons. He may be playing well, but he isn’t going to contribute in fantasy.
Lindell Wigginton led the Bucks with 11 points (4-for-10 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, three steals, three 3-pointers and five turnovers in a 92-71 loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Even for a summer league game, this one was pretty strange for the Bucks. Only three players (MarJon Beauchamp, Chris Livingston and Andre Jackson Jr.) played more than 20 minutes. Beauchamp, who has been on fire this summer, was held scoreless on five shot attempts. Wigginton was the only player to score in double figures, and the team only managed to score 71 points. It’s unlikely that any of these players are part of Milwaukee’s rotation next season, but this game certainly doesn’t help anyone’s case.
Lindell Wigginton recorded a double-double on Friday with 25 points (10-for-20 FGs), five rebounds, 11 assists, one block and four 3-pointers in a 137-114 loss to Memphis.
Milwaukee has locked up the best record in the league, so they played without the majority of their usual rotation in this game. That allowed Wigginton to start and play 41 minutes in this game. He set career-highs for points, assists and 3-pointers. Jae Crowder added 24 points as a starter, while Goran Dragic chipped in 14 off the bench, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo scored 12. Thanasis, Wigginton and MarJon Beauchamp all played over 38 minutes, and they should see similar roles on Sunday.
