In

this week’s Tuesday Tracker and SB Nation Reacts poll, we asked about the Bucks’ two centers, plus their closeness to the Pelicans in the lottery standings and Taurean Prince. Here are the highlights:

There’s close to an even split among our respondents on who should be seeing the lion’s share of minutes at the five. 52% think Myles Turner should be playing more (he’s averaging 27.5 MPG this year and just 22.7 MPG since the All-Star break) than Jericho Sims (17.7 and 24.5, respectively).
However, the numbers slightly skew the other way when considering end-of-game scenarios: 51% think Sims should be Milwaukee’s closing center.
The majority of fans polled (75%) don’t care about the Pelicans’ place in the lottery standings relative to the Bucks. Right now, New Orleans is a half-game away from rising out of sixth to seventh, while Milwaukee is a game ahead of ninth.
If the season ended today, the Bucks would receive the 10th overall pick 60.7% of the time in the draft lottery. 78% of voters would want Milwaukee to make that pick come June instead of trading it, either for star talent or future firsts.
