  "account": "The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Charlotte Hornets and play Kon Knueppel in a preseason game at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Bucks, currently 1-1, will play two more exhibition games before their regular season opener on October 21 against Washington D.C. The Hornets, who are 0-1, have reshaped their roster around Milwaukee native Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller. Kon Knueppel, a former Bucks assistant, had an all-rookie season last year and nearly won Rookie of the Year. Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins plans to play his 13-14 rotation players, which include Pete Nance, Kam Jones, Cormac Ryan, along with Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller. Jenkins anticipates ramping up player minutes for the regular season, stating, \"We’ve got three preseason games left, we want to have the appropriate ramp up period.\" The Bucks projected starters are Ryan Rollins, Tyler Herro for guards; Kyle Kuzma, Jaime Jaquez Jr. for forwards; and Myles Turner for center.",
