Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bucks fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/8SCRL8\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Editor\u2019s note: Due to technical failures with SBNation and Crowdsignal, the Tuesday Tracker is still not back this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Bucks are 5-2 and looking a lot better than many expected, especially since they lost their presumptive starting point guard not even 10 minutes into the season. In the interim, Kevin Porter Jr. injured his meniscus as he prepared to come back from a minor ankle sprain, and while the arthroscopic procedure usually keeps players out around four weeks, it\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s players like Lonzo Ball, Joel Embiid, and Zion Williamson out much longer. Obviously KPJ is different than a couple of those guys, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Also in the interim, Ryan Rollins\u2019 ascension to legitimate NBA point guard has made a huge difference on both ends, even flashing star potential against high-profile opponents last week. Right now he\u2019s averaging 17.0 PPG and 5.7 APG on a cool .536\/.412\/833 shooting. Our first question for you this week: is this enough to make him the starting point guard once KPJ is healthy?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We also want to know how this largely positive start has affected your expectations for Milwaukee this year. 5-2 feels about right for this team, as they probably stole one from the Warriors down Giannis before dropping a game they definitely should have won against the Kings. The Cavs loss is somewhat excusable, down two ballhandlers; after all, even when not fully healthy, Cleveland is one of the league\u2019s top few squads. We know that many of you already think they\u2019ll notch 50 wins or secure a top-three seed, but where does that sit relative to what you thought before the season?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA.
