If the Bucks play like they did last night, they'd struggle to beat Villanova. You let NBA-level guys shoot wide open 3s and that's what happens. There were numerous situations where Philly had two guys wide open for threes on the same side of the floor.

Giannis is 6'11", Middleton is 6'8", Parker is 6'8", Brogdon is 6'5", Bledsoe is 6'1" but has a 7'0" wingspan. That's the crunch time 5 guys.

Giannis should be an NBA All-defensive team candidate. Middleton, Brogdon, and Bledsoe are all good individual defenders. Parker is a defensive optional guy (as in like an D-/F level grade), but with those other 4 guys they should be able to hide him and he's a good enough athlete to at least be a D+ defender.

The sum is much worse than the parts. That's either effort or scheme. In either case, it's coaching.
