Bucks' Thon Maker will continue to start at center

Milwaukee Bucks power forward Thon Maker will continue to start at center, according to head coach Jason Kidd.

What It Means:

Milwaukee seems to be fully embracing the stretch-five idea after struggling to develop an effective center rotation with John Henson, Greg Monroe and the recently-traded Miles Plumlee.

In seven starts this season, Maker is averaging 7.3 points, 1.3 three-pointers, 3.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks. He's averaging 17.4 minutes per game in those starts, and his .608 effective field goal rate is seventh-highest among big men to play at least 30 games this year.
