Pretty much spot on call there.

Bender had a solid game.

Could be a fun team. Anyway to watch?

If you're in NE WI/GB/Fox Valley, channel 32 (my32 over the air) carries all of the home Herd games.

Pretty sure this doubles as a DJ Screw tape title.

Calling Denzel Valentine a nba player is a bit of stretch

How good are g-league box scores? He had 18 rebounds.

I was in Oshkosh for the Herd home opener last night. Twenty thousand word post to follow. :wink:

Bender was OK the 2nd game, not including TOs. The whole team was better the 2nd game. Basically they just shot better.

Tucker still looking like a prospect, too.

I watched the condensed game on youtube (pretty cool feature from the Gleague imo), and Tucker seems to have all the skills, but really needs to learn how to play organized basketball. In the first game he had a few of those fake contests that people do in streetball games where they run to the side of a player with their hand kind of glancing by their face. Think he could be a guy who eventually earns a contract, but he needs to really take the coaching to heart while he's down there. Bufford seems like a really passionate coach. He literally grabbed one of the players after he called a timeout after a terrible defensive possession.

Good call on Tucker. He does need coaching up, but he's definitely got the athleticism and seems to have the raw skills to play in the NBA. It helps that he made 41% of his 3's in his last season of college. He's exactly the type of player that can benefit from the G League.

I agree with you guys on Tucker. He's kinda frantic out there. He's athletic and skilled, he just needs to smooth out his game. If he can play this year on his GL contract then maybe get a TW contract next year, that would be a nice two year intro into the NBA... I think that's exactly how the Bucks should work the GL for potential lottery ticket prospects.

Opposite of Tucker, Reynolds has a real smoothness to his game. He isn't the athlete Tucker is, but I think he's solid. It appears he has some quickness and a little hop to his game. What he has for sure is height, length and a shot. His handle is OK, too- he can dribble drive a little bit... With Midds down a few weeks, I imagine he'll get called up at some point. I hope he gets some PT, I'd like to see what he can do with the team.

I'm bearish on Cam because he looked like a victim defensively in the preseason. From my perspective, a guy like Wigginton has a much better shot of cracking a NBA rotation one day.

Next time I gas up at Planeview on my journey through El Vallejo Del Papel, they better be hawking "I went to Osh Vegas and all I got was this ELITE POST" t-shirts. Need to get ma something for Christmas.

Bender and Thanasis suiting up in Oshkosh tonight. Wonder if that means Giannis and family make their way up to the 920 to support.

Circumstances seem to be aligning in a decidedly elite direction.

Wait, so now I need ESPN+ to watch Herd games? I used to just go to their website and press play.

Man, if I pay for League Pass I feel like I should be able to watch all G League games.

They used to be on YouTube. Btw you ain’t missing much

Thansis actually looks good though. He seemed timid at first but the last two possessions he just burned his man for easy buckets

Now he just backed his defender down a hit a fade-away from 10 ft out. He’s really the lone bright spot
