Well it looks like Horst is trying to rectify that situation. I love the influx of the young talent. MJB, AJJ, AJ Green, Tyty. Suddenly we have 4 exciting young players that have that extra gear and youthful bounce to them. I like them all but even if just 2 of them turn into solid role players it would be great for this team. Not easy to find young talent with limited to almost no draft ammo either.


I agree with being excited about those four. Doesn't matter if they don't get playing time. I'm getting some Bud vibes in regards to vet preference but we'll see.

How about the young guys do some damage with the second team before we elevate them all to starters?

Sure. Do you mean like AJ Green having a 87TS% in the preseason?

No, I actually mean the regular season.

Like when he was over 60% on open 3s last year?

I do want MarJon to start, but if we're deadset on maximizing offense Green is the choice

AJG is a very good shooter. More opportunities to shoot with the second team.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Well you don't start one of the worst defenders in the NBA because you want to maximize defense.

He made two layups in a scrimmage, one of them against RoLo. He's clanged or airballed many 3's and played poor defense

Probably a middle ground between max offense and max defense.

Can someone tell me how to copy/paste other's posts? I don't have copy/paste abilities on my tablet and that's why I hit the "- button but you see how miserably that failed. Thanks.

He definitely has a track record of it but do you think he deserves major regular season minutes?

I was with the experience from a fan perspective. Past years have been much better. Shoot a FT on the court, meet players and get autographs, etc. There was none of that fab engagement this year except a few balls thrown into the crowd.

Anyway, super excited for the season. Go Bucks!

I envision a scenario where you play AJG with Dame, Giannis, a wing defender, and a big, and he absolutely torches teams for helping on Dame/Giannis or Giannis/ Dame pick and rolls.
