Players w/ that high of upside don't get 2-way deals. That's his level right now, but that's not what he was drafted for.

But one of course could rip the Bucks for taking a project in their position. Draft a player who may help you now or trade it.

You're grossly overrating his likliness of reaching his upside. Tons of players never improve their shot making.

It seems like it, right?

I didn't think we'd need another vet on the roster, but with how terrible all the young guys are, we kind of do.

I know Livingston hasn't shown anything, but neither has Marjon and Livingston is three years younger and under contract for two more seasons. Marjon is the one to go.

I can’t believe I was looking forward to watching this game, well at least the first quarter was pretty good. We need to just cut bait with some of these guys. How come our scrubs always look like middle school against others scrubs

Still a big believer in AJJ but OUCH. Been a rough lat two games for him. Reps in Oshkosh will be great for him.

Not enough of you are appreciating that AJJ's already the Bucks best wing defender.

The shot-making comes from not slowing down and knowing he can't finish thru contact. Both those things project to smooth out over time. This was the book before he got here. A lot of people put unrealistic expectations cuz of need & flashes.

Agreed but gotta be a reason he's not seeing the floor at all.

He may be in right now. I couldn't watch anymore of whatever that was.

Mostly because he isn't, and isn't even in the top 5.

The Bucks have actual cuts to make, right?

A bit like in summer league where I'm not sure how much really matters for the season proper but stinking it up because the young guys aren't showing anything goes to the lack of scouting and developing the franchise has.

Livingston is non-guaranteed after this year, so the contract length is irrelevant.

Marjon sucks, but he's also the 11th best player on the roster, excluding the 2 way guys.

If AJJ improves immensely in the next year, he might be able to shoot 25 or 30% in the preseason.

SupremeHustle · Post #78 » by **SupremeHustle** » Fri Oct 18, 2024 1:48 am

BOOOOO!!!!

ShootingtheJ · Post #79 » by **ShootingtheJ** » Fri Oct 18, 2024 1:51 am

AJ Johnson finished the preseason shooting 17% from the floor on 46 attempts. Way to go Horst!

I've never seen a player look better while shooting so poorly
