Moving Ryan Rollins to the bench was supposed to give him more opportunities. Since Kevin Porter Jr. returned from injury, Rollins has faded offensively. Splitting them up, rather than starting both, should, in theory, maximize their shot-creating abilities.
The Bucks aren't maximizing anything, however, when Rollins isn't even on the floor. In Sunday's loss to Minnesota, he played just 23 minutes. Porter and Rollins aren't just the Bucks' best shot creators with Giannis Antetokounmpo injured. They are the team's best and second-best players. They need to play.
Benching Rollins was already questionable. If his minutes stay down and the Bucks keep losing, Doc Rivers' gamble is going to look a lot worse than that.
