Y'all are wrong AJAX is the answer. Every winning basketball team has a glue energy player. Draymond Green, Alex Caruso, TJ McCollum. The problem has never been Ajax. The problem is the Milwaukee Bucks do not develop players to their fullest. That's why these other teams are pulling ahead they're developing their Ajax on Detroit and Orlando. juniors
The whole Bucks organization isn't good at developing young guys, that much is obvious at this point. It's all about what they do themselves and if they have the drive.
Ajax is a good player.. He has talent and is a great defender.. But the Bucks are lacking a sheer plan on how to work with player development. Also a in game system were all players are motion is where we need to implement. GA should not be used as a point forward all the time. It gives the opponents a easier way to play us. A coaching change is definitely needed..
Happy birthday camille! Have a good memorial day!
This team is underwhelming. Coaching, GM, ownership, players, fans (who support this mediocre nonsense), etc. There are no secret weapons here guys. NONE. Unless the Bucks make drastic moves, including trading Giannis while he still has tremendous value (and doesn't start developing limiting health concerns), it's going to be like running on a treadmill each season. Competitive at times… maybe a playoff birth… but not a true threat. I'd rather roll the dice, reset all these future draft picks, save some cash, bring on a number of young/exciting players, and try to wake up this franchise from this bad dream. It's not like we're winning Championship anytime soon anyway…
there's plenty of minutes for AJAX, esp during the regular season, but then don't get away from him in the playoffs, you play a guy during the regular season so that he can help you in key moments in the playoffs, that last game came down to 1 possession, AJAX could've helped at least a few posessions during that game, all you need him to do is help a few possessions sometimes and he can help you win, he could've helped but Doc gets away from him
Bucks should go all in on Kuminga. No other choice if you want to keep giannis
Happy birthday Camille
They need to try and turn him into a Josh Hart type of player
Those of you with this attachment with ajax ( which I will never understand) , the pacers , the Knicks , the Cavs , magic, pistons , which team would ajax be in the top ten rotation with their rosters ? Try none . So why would we play a guy , In The top ten of our rotation , that teams we are trying to catch or stay ahead of would never play ? Didn't you notice how even the lowly Washington Wizards wouldn't take him , they wanted a 19 year old skinny inexperienced AJ Johnson . Why is that ? Because he has an upside . Ajax , has had plenty of opportunities to show his worth . It's not happening .
Man , if we are this bad , that we are fighting about ajax , then we might as well trade Giannis and blow this dang them up .
Ajax just need to become like trigger word PJ Tucker. Be reliable on that corner 3 & be a slasher.
Tyler Smith development is the most importance out of all the other guys
Ajax is soild piece for Milwaukee. There's no need to trade him. Milwaukee needs to eliminate the few pieces that holds them back Lopez Prince and Dame and allow everyone else to gain chemistry like at the end of the season. Milwaukee needs to deal Dame to Phoenix with the 2031 first for Bradley Beal. Sign and trade Lopez to LA for Dorian Finney Smith. Then add on other players that fit around Giannis
Doc Rivers has to go..
The bucks need to go entirely into defense and youth and then just hope for development brook and bobby can not be apart of this team for the ongoing future and dame should be on his way out as well sooner rather than later the time of Gianni’s and a duo or trio is done he needs a team a real team not just a bunch of bums
Happy Birthday, Camille! 🥳🎉
Tyler Smith? The guy looks like he can play a little bit. Would be nice to see him more!
A wing defender at 6'8 6'9 can rebound and score is what it matter most…don't insist on catch and shoot guy it's unadvisable …penetrator or inside operator is an option too
I think Ajax is pretty much doomed if Doc is still the coach. I feel like he smashed Doc's daughter or something 🤷
He plays hard nose defense and shoots a good percentage on 3s. I feel like Doc Benching him kind of got in his head and then he was reluctant to pull the trigger on 3 towards the end of the season whenever you got minutes.
