Bibliosmia and Absolutes: Name your role-playing starting fives (Part I)

Zac Day of Brew Hoop launched a feature compiling a personal starting lineup of favorite role players for the Milwaukee Bucks. The premise was prompted earlier in the offseason after the Bucks added former player T.J. Ford to Taylor Jenkins' coaching staff. The exercise sets out to identify memorable franchise role players who did not achieve major individual NBA awards.

The selection criteria exclude any players who earned All-Star selections, Sixth Man of the Year honors, Most Improved Player awards, or All-Defensive Team selections, disqualifying players like Brook Lopez and Malcolm Brogdon. For the first selection at center, Day named former Bucks center Zaza Pachulia.
