  1. I'd go with this starting five: Rollins, Burries, Herro, Sims/Turner/Ament, Ware. 2nd five: Jakucionis, Trent/Porter, Jaquez, Kuzma/Ament, Turner/Sims.

  8. I remember last year you all were more excited about Cole Anthony being apart of this team than it seems Tyler Herro . I think it’s a great fit . The backcourt seems to be on point . Especially if KPJ can come back some how.

  9. Tyler is not afraid of taking the big shot. proven NBA All-star with great potential. When will you talk up the best three shooting center in league last season, great rebounder 18 one gm, 19three times and 20 against the twin towers in Cleveland. Has outplayed Giannis, Wemby and KAT. Hype the huge ceiling Kelel Ware NOW; the gest get by the Bucks for Giannis. As rookie in NY he blocked 6 shots in the first half and was injured early in the second. In Boston 6 of 7 threes and next gm in NY 5 0f 7 thress…and he can get 20+ rebounds and 8bks too. Hype Kelel and you will be shocked how right you will be.

  12. It’s weird that people overlook Herro’s rebounding and passing

    Weird too that the Bucks were worse with both KPJ & Rollins on the floor. They both had a net of -2.4 & -2.8 where Herro was only -1.2 but has been a + majority of his career. KPJ has been a – almost every year of his career on all his different teams.

  14. Taylor Jenkins will prove to be much smarter than 99% of the Bucks prognostigators. He will feature Kelel from the opening tip of the new season. Fans you won't have to wait that long, checkout the preseason and you will know the Jenkins plan for Warehouse, Warewolf, Kryptonite.. he has 25 rb potential, 40pt potential, 10bk potential 8 of 12 three-point potential, 5 steal potential, and a growing passing game of 8 assist potential. He might dunk the ball 10 times in a game next season.. If Myles has or would attain these thresholds, why hasn't he; not likely now. Play both together 12 to 15min a game or trade Myles

  15. When you discuss Kel'el Ware, take note of the following: Kel'el Ware has a notably higher field goal percentage than Bam Adebayo.

    For the 2025-26 NBA regular season (most recent full season data):Kel'el Ware (playing for Miami, later noted with Milwaukee in some contexts): 53.0% FG (on 8.4 FGA per game).

    Bam Adebayo: 44.2% FG (on 15.7 FGA per game).

    Ware also shot well from three (~39.5% on higher volume than prior years) and had strong efficiency overall (eFG% around 60%, TS% in the 61% range in some comparisons). Yet Coach Spo vastly played Bam more than Ware. Why? So as not to outshine their overpaid captain.

  17. I say trade Herro, we need draft more draft capitol. Tear this team down to studs, trade everyone for as many assets as we can get. Trying to remain competitive will only set this franchise back further. If we give up the #1 pick next year oh well. Otherwise we will be mediocre for the next decade with the play in as our ceiling. Unfortunately as long as Jon Horst is gm we will never rebuild, he would rather chase a play in seed.

  18. MOVE AJ GREEN. It's the obvious solution, it was fine when Giannis was there and he could just spot up and we could suffer through the obvious defensive shortcomings, that's not the case any more. His game is flat, he fouls like crazy on defense because he's undersized and slow laterally, let's just get this done.
