SCOUTING REPORT: It's easy to forget how many great players the Bucks have had. Without a dominating big man, this team will have to go small and play fast. They can do that with great depth at backcourt and Johnson, Cummings and Dandridge running the wings. All their guards do have size, however, and will have to help out on the boards. Lack of size may not hurt so much against the Pistons, who also lack dominating low-post scorers outside of Lanier.
