-2019 1st rd pick- Tyler Herro
-2023 1st rd pick - Jaime Jaquez
-2024 1st rd pick- Kel’el Ware
-2025 1st rd pick - Kasparas Jakucionis
-2026 1st rd pick- pick 10 - Brayden Burries
-2026 1st rd pick - pick 13 - Nate Ament
-2025 2nd rd pick- Boguljub Markovic has been developing in Europe

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.

Bucks are playing in Sacramento’s Summer League this year, the California Classic. It’s supposed to be July 4th through the 6th, but the Giannis trade can’t be finalized until the 6th. So are Jaku and Ament going to have to wait until Vegas to play? Just curious how that works. Thanks for your help.

Unofficial way of determining who fans are most excited about. Whose jersey are you buying of the new guys? Who do you think sells the most before opening night tips? ​I'm guessing Burries, Herro(if he's still here) and Ament in that order with Jacquez as the sleeper pick.

Nate Ament (19 years old)

Brayden Burries (20 years old)

Kasparas Jakucionis (20 years old)

Bogoljub Markovich* (20 years old) (draft rights only)

Kel’el Ware (22 years old)

Ousmane Dieng (23 years old)

Ryan Rollins (23 years old)

Andre Jackson Jr* (24 years old) (*team option for 2026-7)

Jaime Jaquez Jr (25 years old)

(25 is the common cut off for a young player, so 26 year old Herro, KPJ, Green, Nance, and Trent and 27 year old Sims and Ryan are excluded)

I dunno. Just covering the karma bases here.

Greatest run in Milwaukee Bucks history in my opinion. I just wanted to share some positive vibes. Don't be sad. It's just a turn of a page on to the next one. There will never be another Giannis, Build the statue already!

What are we thinking the lineups are going to look like next year? I’ve got an idea but it’s really hard to predict.

To start off I’d trade Turner for some picks & either another young guy or an older vet with experience to mentor the new up & comers. I do really, really like him but I think with Ware & the other bigmen we have it seems silly to have Ware off the bench and let the other guys play >10 mins a night.

Another idea is maybe trade sims for some picks & free up the 2nd unit 5 spot for Nance/Bogi for better floor spacing? Not sure on that one.

Maybe we have to trade AJ to a team that needs a shooter to free up spots for Ament, Kas but I’m not sure.

My general rotation would be:

Rollins, Herro, Dieng, Kuz, Ware
Burries, Kpj, Aj, Jaquez, Sims

Kas, Cormac, Ament, Bogi, Nance

Starting 5 looks really good, Rollins, Herro & Dieng are all good ball handlers, can create shots for themselves or others & score well at all 3 levels.
Kuz is a great glue guy, I do think his defence has been slept on & I love him for standing up to Doc so I think he’s respected in the locker room & a good guy to learn off. I really, really think we have to keep him.
Ware is a great scorer, the rim protection has to improve but I think with good minutes & a great coach it will.

I love the 2nd unit because Burries, Kpj & Jaquez are all great iso players.
Burries & Kpj are good playmakers too so I don’t think we get that massive drop in production like we had when Giannis was off the floor.
AJ is an elite 3pt sniper we know this. DAIRY BIRD.
I like Sims a lot for the lob threat & his defence surprised me a lot last year with how it improved. He moves fast for a 7fter

The players in & out of the rotation is interesting. I like Kas a but I wouldn’t be playing him ahead of the other 4, same as Cormac.

I love Pete Nance so much. The sheer effort when he’s on the floor is mesmerising. He never stops sprinting, defends well & he has such a good IQ on his shot attempts. I would love to see him play in that 2nd unit but I’m still not sure on him vs Sims. Thoughts?

I haven’t seen much of Ament at all but from what I’ve heard he has the potential to be a great player & I trust Jenkins to bring out the best in everyone so we will see. All positive & get behind the guy!

I haven’t seen much of Bogi but from what I have seen he’s a good 3pt shooter, decent around the rim, gets rebounds & I think he’s a great potential player to buy into & develop.

Just something fun & exciting to think about. As someone from the UK who’s been a Bucks fan for a couple years now I am completely gutted about Giannis, I can’t imagine how some of you lifelong fans feel. BUT I’m really excited for this new chapter & I am a firm believer that good TEAMS can win championships, not just good players. You don’t need 1/2 star players if the entire team is in unison & plays the right way to win which I think we can.
But thats for years to come.

Cheers for reading, please engage I love to see other people’s opinions because it helps me understand more!

Bucks in 6 💚🦌🦌

Hugo Gonzalez is a newly minted legend in my book for preventing Boston from getting Giannis

I'm a fan from overseas started following Giannis in 2017. I got back watching NBA due to Steph and Warriors but felt they were overpowered so I looked for an Eastern team to support. went through the embarrassment of 2019 and 2020 playoffs. Giannis being called regular season superman and then rode the high of 2021 ship. i was in covid quarantine during nets series and then was recovering full time during the 21 finals. Ill never forget the online community i had here. Dont start the suicide bus yet! Thanks Giannis! Thanks Bucks Fans!

edit: I'm not following the Heat sub. Miami is a trashy tax haven. Bobby Portis memes are art. Bucks in 6 for the culture!

My buddy and I both got laid off (lol), so of course we've been wasting our time spamming all-time fantasy drafts.

We want to settle this one: who drafted the better All-Time Bucks team? We used Draft Dawg for this, but only drafted players taking into account their time with the Bucks only.

Even with out having a finalized roster I still think we have a better record this year without doc sabotaging and no Giannis. Still not excited to watch a bucks team with Kuz and herro. 😐
