We picked him based on a little run in the Tourney and measurables. :crazy:

Brogdon and the starters was not terrible from what I remember.


We stunted Brogdons growth with the Bledsoe trade he was looking great early on running the show. Lineup was more balanced and Jabari could’ve been plugged into starting lineup when healthy and ready, we jumped the gun a bit with the Bledsoe trade and only got a first round exit and were still on the hook for a 1st to show for it

Middleton's contract ends in one year though. He will get paid a lot of money and it's the team of his choice.

Bamba will be paid his rookie contract and then he is a restricted free agent.

If we do keep Jabari I want a guy like Bamba protecting the rim. If Jabari is going elsewhere I would still look at moving up but for a wing or PG.

Any interested in a trade surrounding Middleton OR Brogdon around Fournier+?

No chance in hell the Bucks trade Middleton for a project center, they would trade him for a proven guy if anyone

I wouldn’t give up either of those guys for Fournier, but I do have a tony snell, gritty delly and a Gamble on Dj Wilson for Fournier

I think Gary Trent or Kevin Heurter would fit remarkably well with Bledsoe, Middleton, Giannis, and I guess Henson.

Getting a good coach with reasonable schemes that can get our pieces to fit, replace Henson/Zeller with Montrezl Harrell and Sagaba Konte, keep Thon as your third string if you want and the ingredients are there for a really good team. Add some IQ guys and lets roll.

But getting the right coach and letting him tell Horst who fits and who doesn't is a must.

Watched some Boise St. and think a lot of what Hutchison can do will translate seamlessly.

Huerter needs to get stronger to play in the NBA, and I'd be surprised if he came out. Gary Trent... meh, I think he's overrated. If you're looking for a jump-shooter, why not Donte DiVincenzo? He also plays defense and has some point guard skills - much like Brogdon.

Yes. Might be youngest player in the draft and will likely be at 7 feet. We really need to know how hard he's going to work on his body - still has baby fat that makes him appear to be unathletic. Ridiculous skills for his age - 3 point shooting range, passing, cutting, etc. and sees the floor much better than his more heralded brother. Probably doesn't have length and athleticism to be a great defender. At worst, he becomes Greg Monroe with more shooting range, imo.

I think Trent is so overrated, that he's now underrated, if that makes sense. He projects as a very good shooter, and in time a decent or better defender.

I think if we're taking the path of least resistance, and keeping BAM together, the obvious areas of improvement are starting 2 and 5 (and the bench, but I digress).

Trent seems like he could slot in seamlessly at the 2, and be a guy that will actually take and make 3s and move off the ball. I think he's strong enough that he could switch on defense, and not get overpowered.
