D.J. Wilson: Set to start preseason opener

With both Giannis Antetokounmpo (personal) and Thon Maker (ankle) ruled out, the
Bucks will roll out a pair of rookies in the starting lineup in Wilson and
Sterling Brown. Assuming Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell and Khris Middleton also
start, it looks as though coach Jason Kidd may employ a small-ball lineup
featuring Wilson as the nominal center. A first-round pick out of Michigan,
Wilson was mostly unimpressive during summer league, but his combination of
length, athleticism and shooting ability make him an intriguing long-term
prospect.
