Last season, Spencer Hawes appeared in only 19 games for the Milwaukee Bucks for a total of 171 minutes. This season the expectations for Hawes would have been higher. He surpassed John Henson on the depth chart during the late part of the regular season and the playoffs last year, and with a full offseason in Milwaukee, there was a hope of him being a legitimate rotation player this year.
Instead, news broke last week that the Bucks had waived Spencer Hawes using the stretch provision. This should provide an opportunity for many Bucks’ players as Jason Kidd will need to adjust the shape of his rotation.
