I love Rollins, but he might not be himself for awhile. Injury rehab has ruined his offseason.

Once we finish with the 2 seed all we're gonna hear about is how deep this team is from the same people who are calling us scrubs.


When that happens, it'll be because of the core of Giannis, Turner, KPJ, Green, Trent, and Bobby. The bottom 1/3 of our roster is hot trash.

Last year we had 5 playable players in the playoffs, and now we have 6 with Turner.


There's a big difference between playoff caliber players and regular season caliber players. Taurean Prince is a perfectly competent regular season player who should have no role in a playoff series
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"

Better chances of Ajax winning Most Improved than ever seeing him play an NBA game, unfortunately.


Bogo is a better prospect than Jovic, who just got a fat extension.


If that were true, he’d be in the NBA. Did none of you watch summer league? He looks like the weakest prospect we’ve drafted in years, and that’s saying something.

Was scary to hear Rollins had reduced range of motion until I remembered it's his non-shooting side. I wonder what he was able to do this summer, though.

He averaged 12 ppg in 19 mpg while shooting 54% over his last 3 summer league games, and he was 19 years old. That's far better than Tyler Smith or Ajax did, and light years better than the train wreck AJ Johnson was

Also, another Mega Basket 2nd round pick was also stashed for a year after he was drafted. Have you heard of Nikola Jokic?

Unfortunately, he stated he couldn't do anything until late July.

And what about his first three summer league games? Cherry picking a few good games is a cute tactic though!

He averaged 8 and 2. 2 rebounds as an almost 7 footer who can’t hit threes and can’t defend anyone. Sounds good!

There was only 5 summer league games.

He hit 38% from 3 last season. He was more productive in the same program pre draft than Jovic was pre draft.

There was only 5 summer Leaguers games.

I root for any Bucks rookie but to state that he was some sort of shining prospect is just wrong lol, the reality of it was he was getting severely abused on both ends of the floor.

Unless he randomly puts on 40 pounds, I doubt we see him over here. Hopefully you’re right and I’m wrong! Would love us to have one good draft pick every decade or so.

Trey Murphy looked great, which is a shame since he's on the Pels. He would be such a solid #2 option next to Giannis.

You guys can bicker all you want over who fits next to KPJ, Giannis and Myles all you want but starting 1 is not at all up for debate.

We are starting the guy who can beat his man and create for others..to go with almost everything else there is to do on a court. Those other players are cogs.

I expect a big jump in Rollins this year even with him not being able to do much after surgery. GPJ should start but I see Rollins getting a lot of playing time at both guard positions. The 3 position will be interesting though I am sure we will play a lot of 3 guard lineups but if Coffey emerges as best 3 option defensively with his size advantage over other players. I know people are skeptical of him but so were they of Trent before he got here. These first preseason games will very interesting to see who comes out on top I love the competition

It sounds like it was a Jokic.

Strongly recommend folks watch W Markovic play against elite players in his age cohort in the Hoop Summit. He more than holds his own. There's a lot to work with there.

Bobby declaring this a “New era” has me thinking about how much better Turner compliments him than Brook.

He could have a big year in store.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
