That was 10 minutes of solid analysis. I’m really hoping that Crowder’s return will allow Giannis to reinstate that ‘swooping rebounder’ role to reward Brook’s rim deterrence.
All I feel we’re missing in terms of personnel is that POA defender. Not even someone that can lock down a possession the way Jrue would, just a strong screen navigator that can effectively funnel ball handlers towards Brook without sacrificing a tonne of space.
Mods please pin this post! 🙏
Agree with Nehm about the scheduling, road games have been rough for the Bucks so I think it’s about to get ugly before it gets better. And I also agree that there’s a need for defensive guard play but *also* a wing who can swoop in as Nehm says.
The more you can take off of our scorers plates the better they’re able to conserve energy to make plays offensively. When you think of it like that, makes sense that guys like PJ, DFS, Thybulle are in that convo alongside talented POA guards like Caruso
This was fantastic. It is a tragedy that there are this few comments underneath it because I think everybody on this sub should be mandated like homework to watch this before they’re allowed to post anything.
Eric knows ball and is also extremely plugged in with Giannis and Horst. For any Bucks fan his content is worth the price of the Athletic subscription.
