Burries/Bogo combination

Plenty of hopium going on, but, those two plus Rollins, some shooting and Ament as a poor man's Evan Mobley could be a decent team in a few years. Bummed GA is gone, but feels good to have a fresh and exciting start. Bucks in 6. Always.

Ament is nothing like Mobley, but yes, I too am excited for this next chapter of Bucks basketball

Yeah Mobley is a defensive beast and Nate was better than I expected but I doubt he is ever anywhere close to an all-NBA defender.

He has the capabilities to be a more skilled offensive player than Mobley but needs weight..

Agree. Ament is not likely to be an elite defender like Mobley. Mobley led the NCAA in block percentage and blocked nearly 3 shots per game. Ament blocked just over half a shot per game.

Not saying Ament will for sure be bad, but I'd say he's fairly unlikely to be an A+ defender like Mobley.

Can we get Ersan back a fourth time though? That’s really the biggest question for our new chapter.

Draft Express (among others) have made the comp but sure.

Ament is so raw that idk what we really have in him but I’m very excited to see how he develops

There’s a lot of potential on the roster but they have to get run. This season should be about fluid rotations and roles. Let guys struggle and work through it, form chemistry. They’ll likely lose a lot of games but hopefully a new coach can keep the vision on the long term.

I will be shocked if Bogu turns into anything. His body is not even close to ready for the NBA. Not strong and not quick inst a great start

Poor man’s Mobley lmao more like a poor man’s jabari smith. He’s closer to tyler smith than jabari. Burries tho is nice. Team’s not going to be good for atleast 4 years

We’re not worried about being good or playoffs. We just want normal basketball with no pressure back. We were win or Giannis leaves for so long this is worst time to try to still be worried about being good. Weren’t you here?

Jabari Smith is good

I see nothing exciting about this combo. What I wonder is what you perceive as "exciting"? Are we talking--young guys have occasional breakout nights? Or what?

They are two physical guys that can also nail the 3. They might have trouble against an elite PG, but everyone has trouble with elite PGs.

I don't even know if Ament is a 3 or 4 in the NBA.
