The Milwaukee Bucks Should Not Be Forgotten…

I’d greatly appreciate it but let’s get right back to the content after posting his first double double as a pro against the dubs Andre Jackson Jr took the time to introduce us to his repertoire I’m a Defender first I could rebound I know I
Know how to play the game I know how to read the game on both ends of the floor but I think uh my game has just changed uh I’m more off the ball and I think that’s where I’m starting to learn to play in the dunker I played in the
Dunker a lot a lot last year in um in the tournament but really like uh slid and find myself as a player that can play in that position consistently and and be effective from that position you know I mean um at this level you playing with
Superstars uh every time I get a rebound I can’t just take off the other end you know I mean got to flip it back to jiannis and Dame and find ways to and get them clean good open shots but I love it man that’s I love to play the
Game that way I’m unselfish player pass first player but at the end of the day uh just got to take it take whatever the game you know mean gives you as Ajax alluded to he’s learned to operate well in the dunker spot which has allowed him
To fit in as a role player next to Giannis Dame Chris and Brooke operating in the dunkers right here despite getting blocked on this reverse he’s able to lunge up for an in trffic recovery and and spring back up for the Finish whether it was finishing plays in
That dunker spot position and in some cases completing multi-e effort sequences making the right passing reads in the half court to set up teammates down low grabbing key rebounds or providing beastly stances defensively Andre Jackson Jr showed us he’s a name to remember for one of the best teams in
The NBA however the most staggering moment from the rookie in a career night against the dubs came right here where after a rare three-point brick from bees Andre Soares in Springs up and hangs over three Defenders plus Giannis for a two-handed putback that he makes look easy that was clean Ajax has also
Displayed three-point shooting ability attempting one triple per night and making just under 40% of them detailing his rookie timely showing over the injured yet Scrappy Golden State Warriors head coach Adrien Griffin would say quote he made some big time plays he’s a big time player he was a winner
In college has a motor like I haven’t seen in a long time imposes his will on the game he just made Big Time plays he made winning plays that’s who Dre is that was his first double double we needed every rebound he had six offensive rebounds he’s guarding the
Best player on the other side he’s shaping into being a really really special player in this league end quote Malik Beasley is attempting an average of 6.23 per night and knocking down a career high by a mile 47.8% of them putting him in decent company directly ahead of Kevin Durant of the Phoenix
Suns for the NBA’s highest deep range clip as touched on in the intro of this video it’s that sweet stroke making the Lakers regret not valuing his catch and shoot ability which fit nicely next to LeBron James at times to be fair his numbers tailed off down the stretch of
Last season in La after being traded midseason from Minnesota but in hindsight it was a bad call to take Beasley out of the rotation entirely as he could have helped you win a game or two against Denver if he was in a flow so bucks Nation I know it’s it’s been
All the way back since the trade for Dame that we’ve talked about the bucks on this channel but with consecutive wins over the two teams who I’ve brought up the most this year in Boston and Golden State it was only right to Grant some attention to Milwaukee it’s worth
Noting the Celtics were on the second night of a backtack and the warriors were very injured but that doesn’t take away from the Bucks taking care of business the Greenfield Wisconsin native in 2021s Wisconsin Mr basketball and Brandon psky is a player we have talked a lot about this season and in his
Return home pods impressed by dropping 23 points and 10 rebounds but it wasn’t enough to take down the PowerHouse bucks who followed up a 33-point beat down over the number one seated Celtics by dropping 47 in the final frame against the dubs their highest scoring fourth quarter of the Season Chris Middleton
Stepping up was a welcome sight if you’re a bucks fan as cash cooked his way to a 24 piece 10 dime double double his highest scoring and assist total of January for another franchise Legend in Brook Lopez while the 35-year-old out of Stamford is second best in the ass Association behind 19-year-old Victor
Wanyama in blocks per game the advanced stats actually say that Lopez is struggling defensively this season Lopez ranks as merely the 15th best center in terms of defensive rating so while the blocks are nice the advanced numbers show he’s got to increase his value on
This end we know how good he was last year for those putting D DOA at fault for averaging career lows in multiple major categories you’re not realizing the man’s a second option for the first time since his first few NBA seasons to larcus Aldridge around a decade ago with
Sacrifice Dame’s numbers were bound to take a dip but you have to remember he isn’t required to rack up the stats he did in Portland in order for his new team in Milwaukee to have success he just needs to be a second star who can complement Giannis and be somewhat
Stable defensively without getting taken advantage of too much by mismatches more on the six time all NBA players coming up going back to my question from the intro though asking whether or not Milwaukee’s 11th from the bottom defensive rating is concerning to balance out their drastic difference in
Offensive and defensive output we should take into account where they rank in rebounding the Bucs being top 10 in overall rebounds per game and top four in defensive rebounds per game shows they’re making the hustle plays and therefore are still capable of flipping a switch on the defensive end like a ton
Of their cores done in the past from the postseason Drew holiday being replaced by Damen Lillard I know doesn’t help them on the defensive side but given the all-time great deep range sniper that Dame is on the other end I don’t think they’re going to have too much of a
Problem Dame average over 34 points and 10 dimes on a 46 45 94 shooting split the last time he had a chance to suit up for playoff basketball that guy becoming your second option is going to be deadly for defenses to game plan for over a 4
To S game basis come April May and June after getting monumentally upset by Miami in last Spring’s first round John hor in the front office knew things couldn’t stay the same so opted to make the tough business decision to trade away a franchise Legend in Drew holiday
But based off what we’ve seen from Milwaukee this season and also given we’re in the bucket getting era the Bucks have put together another built for the postseason Machine by acquiring Dame Dolla what I mean by bucket getting era which I’ve said in Prior videos is that 10 of the 16 greatest offensive
Ratings of all time have through half of the Season all been produced by teams in 2023 24 the Bucks offense is on paper not only third best this season but third greatest all time also behind this year’s Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics so while many are concerned about Dame
Being a downgrade from Drew defensively you have to consider where amidst the offensive revolution in the NBA voting well in terms of that Dame ranks number five in total points as the pick and roll Creator while Giannis ranks top 10 in points in all of isolation postup and
Transition scoring just as crucially the Bucks Duo of Giannis and Damen aren’t just great off the dribble creators but they also make up two of the top seven ranked players in free throw attempts Middleton’s also super crafty a drawing fouls so the Bucks can create buckets at
Will that said my question to the community will Milwaukee’s game translate to the playoffs when things get much more physical and the refs aren’t calling as many fouls best answer gets next video shout out top five commenters with the most shout outs by June 21st earn free NBA merch of their

Does the Offensive Revolution actually benefit Milwaukee? Is their second-round pick from 2023 worth remembering? How is Malik Beasley proving the Lakers wrong?

Ajax was a steal for us. Him and beauchamp are the future
The bucks are serious bro, i think the slow pace of the playoffs is gonna play right into their hands. They still have jae crowder to comeback so their perimeter defense should improve and then giannis and dame on a bad night will give you 50 points and 10 assists which is scary. On an average night giannis dame and middleton will give 70 points and 15 assists, this team is deadly
Woah woah woah let’s just get this straight, Dame not a second option😅 Him and Giannis are both First ones🤪
Andre Jackson won that game! He was a big part and he should start
