27-year old Hakim Warrick will likely hold off 23-year old Luc Richard Mbah a Moute for the starting job at small forward. Warrick is a good offensive player and a decent defender. He played in 82 games for the Grizzlies last season and he averaged 24.7 minutes, 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Mbah a Moute is also a very skilled player who has a nice upside. He played in all 82 games for the Bucks last season and he averaged 25.8 minutes, 7.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He could push Warrick for minutes at some point this season. Joe Alexander will be #3 in line for the Bucks here. He played in 59 games last season for the Bucks and he averaged 12.1 minutes, 4.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.
