Nice play at 1:20.

The first video posted was him at like 17. You can tell he has already physically matured alot in those 2 years. Way different than getting in a 22.5 year old MjB coming in.

At least this is something different. We have Dame spacing already and if he can come in 16 months from now and be a Run and Pass PG with competitive D, he might me playable. We never really had a PG that could run and looked to pass to a streaking Giannis, which Doc has emphasized as a change next year.

We have a coach who doesnt play rookies…a team ready to win now…little wiggle room to make moves…then we draft a project loo make it make sense

Maybe we get lucky and get Dunn or Shannon with 33

If he turns out good, he might be good enough to turn the Bucks picks owed to other teams from top 5 picks into top 10 picks in the latter half of the 2020s.

It's relevant because he's getting paid for these decisions.

Should be forced to change his name before Lisa gives him the lamest nickname of all time

Brandon Jennings euro stats were terrible too. This kid has crazy potential, Anfernee Simons/Jamal Crawford vibes. There’s much better videos on YouTube to check out for him.

Well sheet.

Curveball move, and not a win now type move.

But there is some Brandon Jennings vibe stuff (California kid who spent a year overseas growing up a little). I see some Jamal Crawford in his movement and handle.

A year with the Herd and stength training and we might have something. I like the length and the iso skills. Obviously a lot to work on.

Maybe they traded down because we took their guy.

You can hate the pick, but it can't be for thinking the Bucks took him too early.

Vecenie said he worked out and impressed some teams in the back end of the first, especially Denver... but they moved up for Holmes.

I get securing your guy, Horst is just not good at this.

Welp. All the posters posting about how badly the Bucks needed to get younger were heard...

Hoping for the best. But this didn't help:

Was just watching highlights and thinking "is he even automatic at anything?"

The nice thing about drafting a guy who’s 160 and already has nice pop is that *IF* he dedicates himself to his body, he could get reasonably more explosive on top of what he has already shown.

There’s also a long list of guys never developing their bodies, and still being too weak, but also: Giannis.
