Zach Lowe on Giannis’ Path to MVP, Bucks’ Breakout Guards & Early NBA Trends (Hear District Ep. 87)
Renowned podcaster & columnist, Zach Lowe joins Marques & Kris Johnson on this week’s episode of Hear District to dissect the Milwaukee Bucks’ impressive start to the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s path to a third MVP trophy and the team’s Playoff possibilities in an unpredictable Eastern Conference.
But first, they discuss Zach’s untraditional path to NBA coverage and how his New England roots inspired his love of the game. They dissect the criteria for NBA MVPs and why Giannis has as good a chance as ever to compete for the trophy. They also dive into Ryan Rollins’ rise, why Cole Anthony is an X-Factor for this team, Bobby Portis’ grit, Myles Turner’s fit with Milwaukee and why Zach has always been a fan of Gary Trent Jr.
They also touch on the Eastern Conference Playoff picture, Victor Wembanyama’s ascension, massive scoring performances to start the NBA season, the biggest early-season surprises, and other trends around the league.

Myles Turner’s performance and effort in The NBA Finals warrants an investigation into prop betting
My favorite NBA analyst talking about my team….nice job, Hear District!
They actually do and will continue to lead the league on fg and 3%. Dame was virtually the worst shooter on the team and taking the big bulk of shots. So yeah, BETTER situation for 3s. More movement and more possessions less damian dribble dribble lillard. (Who I respect, but wasn't the right guy for this team by any stretch of the imagination)
Watching bobby these past few games I must say his defense is atrocious and I would limit his minutes based on his d alone
Bucks are 4th in offensive rating, Turner scoring 12 ppg would bring the Bucks up to number 1 puts scored per game and likely the number 1 or 2 offense.
It would also mean that there's less possessions for the opponent in missed shots, and a more set offense. So Turner just scoring around his career average would help both the offense and defense.
wemby was held to 9 points. he has to go down 2 spots automatically. No matter where he was.
