AJ is going to be an excellent shooter. Beautiful form. I have zero worries about his shot.

If we cut Marjon and eat his salary for this year, we can still pick up a min contract vet, right? The corpse of Gordon Hayward has to be more valuable than Marjon.

It's an afterthought in general for the franchise, and it's a public embarrassment every year, though little noticed and quickly forgotten. It is crazy, though, that we've got a kid who couldn't get on the court on the Horizon League as a 6th year senior playing consistent minutes for this squad just because pops is coaching.

This is just a terrible, non-competitive way to start your pro career.

Probably a few guys who got their confidence shot because they were playing in the zoo that is a Bucks SL team, this can either be a confidence builder or wrecker. The organization is doing a disservice by not taking this a little more seriously.

I wish Livingston was a factor defensively. Looks strong but slow feet and it doesn’t seem like his length bothers anyone. His positional sense will need to be flawless.

I remain to be impressed by Livingston. That's the only positive I have so far from this game
Coach Drew: "Milwaukee has always been a team that I have been intrigued by. When we played them, they were a tough team for us to play. Although we did beat them all four times"

I think Livingston is not really meant to be dribbling the ball a lot. However, he has been very good on a very dysfunctional team so far.

Man Marjon is dogging it on the defensive end also. Not really guarding anyone. Not fighting around picks. Woof.

Nice stuff from AJ, Rollins, and Smith to start the quarter

Not playing particularly well, but AJ stays aggressive and just seems to naturally create separation. When he sprints with the ball he can just run past anyone

I'm actively surprised Besson has not gotten more minutes. HE actually looks like he knows how to run an offense. His jumper has been wack though.

These idiots gotta be the dumbest announcers I've ever heard in my life. I realize it's summer league, but it's still the NBA. They couldn't get anyone better? Maybe a few people who know SOMETHING about bball?

I don't hate Tyler Smith by any means but I would absolutely rather have Oso or Jalen Bridges.

Besson has some of that natural Euro herky jerk movement that leads to him getting fouled a lot. I wish he wasn't missing open jumpers and free throws.

Chris Livingston looking like someone who could contribute has really been the silver lining of this Summer League. Smith does not look ready to contribute to an NBA team. AJ won't have any minutes in non-blowouts.

Surprised AJ isn't getting back in. Smith is lost in defensive rotations, so I don't think it could be that he has looked too lost.

Phoenix keeps playing their starters and draft picks, and I really don’t get why we don’t.

AJ is at 22 minutes. It’s your summer league team, why not play your guys heavier minutes? Give them more exposure.
