Expand Their Small-Ball Lineup
Once Victor Oladipo is healthy enough to return to the court, the Milwaukee Bucks would have a lot of lineup combinations they could trot out there. Oladipo could be featured as the go-to scorer when Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo are resting. He can also be a secondary playmaker at any time on the court.
But, if there is one area that the Bucks look like they could use some help during the postseason it was when they go small.
With the injury to Donte DiVincenzo, the Bucks have been using Connaughton or Forbes as part of their small-ball lineup. Can you imagine what Mike Budenholzer would be able to trot out there with him and Oladopo healthy?
A lineup of Jrue Holiday, Middleton, Oladipo, DiVincenzo and Antetokounmpo would give opposing teams fits. Given how good each player is on defense, they would be able to switch everything. On offense, there is enough floor spacing to allow Oladipo and Antetokounmpo to attack the basket aggressively.

Milwaukee would have one of the most talented and deep backcourts in the NBA should they land Oladipo. Budenholzer would have the depth to make lineup combinations to combat opponents going with jumbo lineups or smaller lineups and use the former Indiana Hoosier as a jack of all trades.
