Alright, so we got, roughly..

KPJ/Cole
Green/Rollins/Coffey
GTjr/Andre/Prince/Harris/Thanasis
Giannis/Bobby/Kuzma
Turner/Sims

Sears/Nance/Alex on two ways

Playoff rotation players in bold.

TP got player of the game thanks primarily to a put back dunk that basically no one saw coming.

In 20 career playoff games, Amir Coffey is averaging 1.3 ppg on 34% shooting. He's not a playoff rotation guy. Sims neither. Cole Anthony hasn't been either, but it's possible he improves his offensive game under a different coach.

We presently have 7 playoff rotation caliber players, up from 5 last year. That's assuming Rollins takes the next step, which seems likely.

Hard to defend if they think you can’t dunk

Who cares if Horst picked up young talent in other ways that weren’t the draft?

That guy earned his extension this offseason and then some.

The organisation would be in a far better position if they drafted better over the last decade.

this plan is EXTREMELY dependent on giannis conjuring up his best prime chris paul act if its going to work after teams see us a few times......

....or others could step up. we have some guys that may be capable of that. lets keep our fingers crossed on kpj, rollins and cole especially

Our prospects look very different if at least one of those guys takes serious advantage of the career making opportunity before them.

absolutely!!! if two or especially all three of them become plus level attack types like as we gauge these things league wide...then i think we could be ready to roll!

if they dont i think the season will tank. its a little scary mentioning those 3 names and thinking we need them to break out in order to have a chance tho. that would be my primary point.

Cole Anthony stood out to me in the 1st scrimmage period, looked great on his floaters and 3 point shot.

Cole than a mf Anthony

Would be great to have, and I can kinda see, Sims become a playoff rotation player even if it’s like 10 energy minutes, like a poor man’s Aaron Gordon or Birdman from circa 2000 Nuggets.

His complete inability to draft is the difference between the Bucks winning one more title and possibly losing Giannis.

His not only bad at it, he’s downright terrible. And we’ll make another mistake this year by not taking Proctor, a guy who might have actually earned some minutes.

I don't feel like looking it up, but does he have some obvious misses and those guys went on to rake?

Only obvious one that pops out is Maker over Sabonis but that was like 10 years go and we all thought Maker was KG but maybe older

Last draft where someone obviously developed better was Brunson after Donte but noone knew that was happening

Merrill and Mamu were good picks at the end of the draft

Both were cut by other teams. Merrill was out of the league for a year and a half.

I sense much better chemistry and overall a positive vibe from this team than in the past couple iterations, some of which may be related to Dame, but overall young and hungry/excited players.

Yeh definitely and I think that's why they kept Ajax over Tyler. Ajax has the right mentality he just hasn't been able to put it together on the court. I'm still a believer

Yeah it's a nice balance this year. We don't have a player under 23, but no ancient guys either. Seems like everyone besides Kuzma is focused on winning.

DJ Wilson stands out. That was the year that Alex tweeted out our draft board. Besides having a scrub like Wilson that high to begin with, there were quite a few really really good players in that range that would be huge for this team (OG being the biggest but Jarrett Allen, John Collins, Josh Hart and Derrick White as well.
