Summer League Game 1: Bucks/Nuggets - 7/10/25 - 8:30 CDT - NBATV/FDSWI

I hope we can still get a look at Sears soon. That calf strain makes me think he could miss most of the summer league.

Games Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. Big missed opportunity if he's out.

Bogi looks to be another wasted Horst pick. Tyrese Proctor was sitting right there.

I expect him to be a nothing burger, but I also dont think he's supposed to be more than nothing for a few years at least. The hope would be he has an Ersan trajectory.

Horst really likes swinging for the fences rather than just slapping a single to the opposite field every so often.

That group around Boobjob was probably the worst collection of players he could possibly play with. Did he even touch the ball? I'm not reading into that at all other than he looked big out there and looked like he could run the floor well. Also his dribble is way too high for the NBA. Clearly he has a ways to go.

Really can’t read much into game 1 summer league with a 19 year old big

Actually, the Bucks have a pretty "veteran" summer league team. I thought Livingston looked good. The main reasons the teams look bad is the lack of real coaching. They have one play, which is a high ball screen and that's it.

I don't know what posters are expecting. The Bucks have no first rounders on the court and are coached by the son of a coach who has no clue.

Of course. I thought this group was especially selfish and that’s not surprising considering it’s made up of American guys trying to win a job. I don’t blame them. Pretty much the worse case scenario for a young kid fresh out of a European league.

Thought Bogi looked overwhelmed mentally and overmatched physically. The mental part might come around with some more time but the physical part isn't fixing itself this season. The Bucks would be smart to stash him or sign him on a 2way and let him physically mature and see where he's at in a year or two

[Ron Swanson]

I give every 19-20 year old rookie a mulligan year but it's almost always a massive red flag when you look physically overmatched against G-league level athletes. Dude needs some serious physical and skill development over in Europe for a couple years. He can come back next summer and we'll see how he looks.

1 summer league game caveat, but I didn't see much positive with Bogo. He struggled with basic rebounding. He looked uncomfortable the whole time he was out there. I know they didn't give him the ball much, but when they did, his offensive game didn't look as polished as I thought it would be from the scouting reports.

[Bernman]

Ryan was matched up w/ a 25 yr old 3rd year NBA player in Hunter Tyson. So there was no experience or significant age advantage there. Tyson has destroyed people in summer league. And Ryan shut him down. He may be real on d.

[BucksFanSD]

Was impressed by Ryan and Livingston. Wow, Livingston lost a lot of weight quickly. Some other guys showed other things too. Just one game, we'll see what Bogi and Tyler can do with more touches.

[StickeeFingaz]

Bogi is “two years away from being two years away”.

True. Ersan was much older when we drafted him.

Coach Finstock coached his balls off in that game. He must have gotten at least 13-14 hours of sleep.

Also Chubbs would be the best screener Giannis has ever had.

Summer League Game 1 thoughts

Livingston- of the guys who mattered, he was easily the best. I would really like to be able to get him back on a 2way over Bouyea or Nance

Ajax- he was fine. Nothing special but he isnt built for a SL setting so I dont read too much into it

Tyler Smith- He looks improved on last year but didnt live up to the hype

Bogi- rough first game, seemed overwhelmed mentally & overmatched physically

Nance/Bouyea- meh, they were fine but I'm fine cutting either tomorrow

I dont care about soon to be 27 year old Cormac Ryan

This is fantastic. i now have a few more members in my lonely Chris Livingston club.

I still don't know if he has enough, but he has improved in every facet of his game since he got to the Bucks.

I'm not worried about his three point shooting at all. I've watched him a lot before Herd games and it looks so much bettter than when he arrived.

His problem is that he is decent in every phase of the game, but he isn't great at any of them.

But he has shown a very high BBIQ, which is really important.

He has to play. Would I give him some minutes on the Bucks? Yes, but it's more important that he gets a lot of playing time and that can only happen on the Herd. I'd stick with hm for another year and make a decision.

Me three, Livingston has a knack for broken-field play. In the flow the guy grabs the rebound, makes the pass, finishes at the rim (ok, not always, hit those 3s tho) works with his guys-- Season him up w real minutes

[emunney]

Ryan was tough as hell. Just the kind of player we can use, would love to see him keep it up for the rest of SL.
