Is Munford good or just G-league good? He seems like a smooth scorer.

4 of the 5 guys on the floor right now were (are) just on the Bucks roster this week. Kind of shows you how bad our bench depth really is.

If we send everyone down come playoffs we could make some noise.

Too bad GP2 isn't 7 feet tall. He'd be a hell of a center.

Nice atmosphere for the G-league. Hope it can stay decent after the hype wears off.

Nice, fun home opener for the Herd.

Atmosphere was amazing. Doubt it can sustain it for the whole season

Also the arena is beautiful. I’ll post vids soon

Couldn’t really have asked for a better franchise debut at their new venue. As a jaded Bucks fan I’ve been pretty skeptical on how the Herd would be run (especially after the Bronson Koenig-Jalen Moore 2 ways) but I’ve been pretty damn impressed with this team from top to bottom. Hopefully tonight’s enthusiasm in Oshkosh sticks with the team throughout the season.

i turned into the first game for the hell of it and now i catch them whenever i can. they're a ton of fun to watch.

oshkosh seems like it was a great choice for a spot too. sold out home opener, and as has been written, tix and sponsors are much, much more in demand than originally expected.

DJ Wilson looked good tonight as the game went along. Not sure why so many were ripping on him. Dude literally just got off the plane from a west coast trip a few hours before and started playing on a team he never practiced with. Biggest gripe was the fadeaway crap needs to be reduced drastically, and he needs to be more aggressive, but his shooting was smooth as silk at times.

I think DJ is going to suffer from not passing the eye test of not having NBA quickness and athleticism. His line was better than his impact, but it was nice to see him aggressive. Hoping he plays in around 20 Herd games plus the game playoffs.

I'm sure DJ didn't have 100% of his energy, but I don't think his game is any different with it, though. He does look smooth at times, but like you said he relies way too much on his fadeaways and right now he doesn't bring much to the table other than shooting jumpers. Hopefully he can stay down with the Herd as long as possible to get all the bad habits coached out of him and he can expand his game while he has a chance to play significant minutes.

Agreed. He just needs to stay down for most of the season, even more so than Sterling. Think it would benefit him a ton, in more way then one.

He may be 21, but his game is still extremely raw to say the least. That said, there is something there, IMO, if he can embrace improving certain aspects of his game. Of course, this can be said for many former NBA prospects

Dj definitely has raw talent but has that Lonzo Ball “I don’t give a f” look the whole time. He also
Has to be one of the worst screeners I’ve ever seen. He really doesn’t like contact. Notice he doesn’t talk a lot. He does a lot of pointing but rarely communicates

Wizards' G-League team, which starts playing next year, will be called the Capital City Go-Go. And jut like that, Herd doesn't sound so bad.

I wonder what Giannis' line would be if he played in a G League game. Probably 50 pts 20 boards 10 blocks 10 assists
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”
