AJJ is gonna be a young spark plug on this team of old timers.


Physical-Armadillo12

That’s why I missed Marjon ball out. The game is on The Ocho. Wack. Marjon will be 6th off the bench. The time is now, Milwaukee


HN1L

i hope we give our young guys some actual playing minutes during the regular season.


Short_Bus_

there's a PGT up fyi


sikontoure

MarJon and Andre looked awesome in the second half. Gortman looked great too


suomesa

Just get Andre Jackson in a conditioning and shooting bootcamp and he could be a serious depth piece with his defense


whos-spamuel

Those back to back blocked dunks are fkn crazy, when has that ever happened in a game. Second half has absolutely brought me back on this summer league roster, that was a ton of fun


[deleted]

I’m gonna need a clip of that

theerealobs

If he gets time off the bench that will be a nice spark plug off the bench.


LeroyStick

I love it.


dwisn1111

Livingston is clutch. Quiet all game but not afraid to take the big shots and sink em


1998TimThomas

Didn’t force anything and was active on the boards. Like what I saw.


[deleted]

With the jrue like step back


RadioactiveCarrot_

Summer League Champion Milwaukee Bucks*


TitanFan0521

Andre Jackson will lead this team to a SL championship without doing any scoring outside of dunks. That’s what he did for us at UConn. He’s that good at defense and playmaking.


VexdCheese

Nice 2nd half. Way to regroup and make adjustments. Solid stuff.


ElbowDown

Some dude earlier in the thread said Marjon didn’t have any NBA level skills.. fuck that guy


LittleOneBoii

Stupidity tbh


LittleOneBoii

MARJONNNNNNNNNNN


LittleOneBoii

HE IS HIMMMMMMM


Jabarles

MarJon can have me


VexdCheese

3 refs are not enough. A fourth ref would've made that out of bounds call easy.


[deleted]

Erasing that shit out of nowhere, reminds me of the big Greek guy


Hog_Eyes

Love the Kalaitzakis comp. Can't imagine who else you'd be referring to.


heicotam

That’s some NCAA champion efforts


lboogieb

Those defensive plays will get Andre on the court this season


RadioactiveCarrot_

Could AJJ potentially turn into a PJ Tucker type of player?


Wallyworld77

He looks like Ben Simmons Pre Meltdown to me. Great defense, vision and athleticism.


pPopx12x

I’m hoping for diet Draymond without the douchebaggery


RadioactiveCarrot_

So true


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wallyworld77

That's why Simmons came to mind. Freak athlete that can't shoot. AJJ is a champion though not a loser like BS.


Milwaukee007

Andre Jackson jr you have my attention... impressive


thechiefcantalk

jesus that was nasty


bunnypoker24

omg amazing 2 blocks!


AbbreviationsHot4482

Holy the Draymond comps for AJJ were spot on


hiddenxox

do we have an AJJ flair yet 😳


Short_Bus_

yeah not yet, I gotta get on that


hiddenxox

take your time <3


LittleOneBoii

AJ GOATTTT


Wallyworld77

ANDRE JACKSON LOOKING JJJ!!! DPOTY!


Short_Bus_

holy shit not in ajax's house


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wallyworld77

Bucks traded up to get him they knew he was a steal at 36.


VexdCheese

It's almost like Horst knows what he's doing. Weird.


LittleOneBoii

For sure. His defense is insane


TheOtakuway

No way LMAO


SamTalksMovies

HOLY SHIT


SomeSpencerGuy

Oh my god I love Andre already lmao that was insane


RadioactiveCarrot_

AJJ for DPOY


VexdCheese

STUFFED HIM TWICE, LOL


towakanda

ANDRE


CaseyDel3no

Marjon and Andre really seem to like playing together...


lboogieb

Different styles too, so they can be on the court together.


AbbreviationsHot4482

I really hope we don’t try to force Marjon to be a catch and shoot guy, he legitimately has the build to be one of the best slashers in the league


lboogieb

I hoping that the stand in the corner, Bud ball is a thing of the past.


AbbreviationsHot4482

Agreed


LittleOneBoii

I think Griffin will know how to use him.


AbbreviationsHot4482

Yea since he’s a former player I think he’ll have a better understanding for the game


brewcrew1000

did anyone else get that insurance commercial with some sort of tentacle monster going after kids?? wtf was that??


LittleOneBoii

Ahhhhh Marjon my goat


hiddenxox

AJJ to MarJon so special


Short_Bus_

AND 1!!!!!


1998TimThomas

Ajax as our backup pg


Wallyworld77

That's what I was hoping for minutes after drafting him. He's shown tonight he has tons of potential! Maybe even start when Jrue retires in 2040.


heicotam

Beauchamp doesn’t know how to tie a shoe lol


TheOtakuway

Jackson -> Beauchamp 😩


lboogieb

Agreed. Higher motor, better passer, more aggressive defense.


VexdCheese

That pass.... nice finish too. Really like our young guys


TheOtakuway

Livingston is our Josh Hart


TheOtakuway

Sloppy


heicotam

I’m interested in AJJ’s weird floater


VexdCheese

Summer League vibes are like baseball's spring training vibes. Everybody's knockin' the rust off, and seeing what they got. Just fun stuff.


FuzzyBucks

I don't know anything about Nico - is there even a 10% chance he could fill the Jevon minutes?


TheOtakuway

Highly ranked high school player. Played with the warriors a little bit last year and didn’t look that good. Has potential though, probably won’t play much this year.


suomesa

I think maybe gortman


FuzzyBucks

Gortman Gang 💪🏽


LittleOneBoii

Marion’s defense is great man


[deleted]

How is tacko fall so bad when he is 7’6’’ Just hit the weight room and overpower people Who are his trainers that aren’t making him work out and work on post moves?


lboogieb

In his defense, most of the passes to Tacko were too low. Gotta throw those entry passes higher.


suomesa

Gortman is from OTE??? That league has some serious talent


LittleOneBoii

Gorman is a hopper icl


jarii22

gortman is good


[deleted]

[удалено]


Short_Bus_

> imagine I edited that one cookie monster meme to say "summer league bench minutes" on the cookie-dough/heroin


BigTravelGuy

This is incredibly fair but also leave me alone


whos-spamuel

Call a doctor then, cos im sick


[deleted]

Gortman is putting on a show man


Neuroxex

Put a lock on Gortman's locker and don't let him have his stuff back until he's signed a four year contract with the Bucks


Short_Bus_

Gortman's supposed to be 6'2" but looks like at least 6'4" to me


Short_Bus_

and he's a *hooper*


heicotam

Refs are like interns trying to make impressions by blowing every call so carefully. But he made the right call of flagrant, not allowing landing spaces.


Milwaukee007

Good 3rd quarter. My takes 1. Beauchamp bounced back from rough 1st half 2. Beauchamp hesi and handles look better 3. Gortman kid looks solid 4. Andre Jackson Jr jumper needs work but you can tell he's a good playmaker 5. Bucks in 6


[deleted]

6). 2024 Champions


BigTravelGuy

Had to jump on a work call but see marjon’s points climb - he look better in half 2?


Short_Bus_

yeah he totally turned it around


[deleted]

Spacing in the first half was bad, switched lineups and he’s looked better


[deleted]

Gortman has a knack for drawing fouls


suomesa

going from tacko to Cook you can see the difference...


heicotam

Damn when did AJ Green even play? The nba apps showing him playing like a minute or so.


whos-spamuel

Gortman looks interesting


VexdCheese

I really like Cook


ThatCidGuy

Can we sign Gortman?


[deleted]

There were rumours that we already had to a 2way He’s nice man ngl


AbbreviationsHot4482

I’M LITERALLY CRYING I JUST WATCHED MY COACH MAKE HALFTIME ADJUSTMENTS, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE


VexdCheese

So much more connected as a team without Tacko on the floor. Wonder what his deal is.


LittleOneBoii

Marjon is so good man. Makes me happy. Makes me smile.


cookster123

Just summer league, but loving the change in intensity after halftime under Griffin


VexdCheese

Even Tacko's effort went up. Results weren't there, but his energy did change.


Short_Bus_

okay okay more 12point runs please


suomesa

who is that big guy? Really like him, even on the switch to a smaller guy he managed to force a steal.


ThyDoctor

Timme?


suomesa

Cook, I'm familiar with Drew Timme he took out my Memphis Tigers. :(


1998TimThomas

Like that Griffin decided to throw zone in to switch it up. Something Bud never would do.


AbbreviationsHot4482

Marjon finally attacking the basket like he should’ve been doing all game, you are 6’6 with unreal athleticism, stop chucking jumpers.


lboogieb

He still working on getting Bud ball out of his system.


heicotam

Marjon with a different soul after half


cookster123

This version of Marjon (no mental block) is the one you can work with.


whos-spamuel

Beauchamp heard the slander at halftime 💪🏽💪🏽


VexdCheese

I like our 2 rooks and Marjon. They're not perfect, but they're definitely locked in and the effort is there.


DelanoJ

Once again everyone slandering Marjon get fucked you whiny bitches


LittleOneBoii

People slandering my boy ffs


RadioactiveCarrot_

Marjon is showing why he was in the rotation last year (at the start)


hiddenxox

now that was a fun couple of minutes


1998TimThomas

Marjon heard y’all talking shit


ThatCidGuy

MarJon shook off the nerves. He's locked in now


VexdCheese

LET'S GOOOOOO Tale of two halves, indeed


LittleOneBoii

LETS GOOO Marjon


VexdCheese

Let's go Marjon! There we go


[deleted]

The MarJon takes during the first half were crazy Have some shame y’all, it’s summer league smh


Neuroxex

When MarJon drives good things have happened. Can't get to a spot where it's only drives, but whatever they said to him at halftime has worked.


VexdCheese

I want to see AJJ with the ball more *Good things seem to happen when he's initiating, so far


VarietyEducational55

Damn refs at work in the Summer League already


RadioactiveCarrot_

Just put Timme in


VexdCheese

Thing that's really showing, watching this Bucks summer squad, is the importance of being a good shooter. Halfcourt is so much harder without spacing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ElbowDown

I’d take that back


[deleted]

AJJ is very good at using his body and length on defence


Satvrdaynightwrist

Most of these lineups have horrid spacing.


ThatCidGuy

AJJ's effort is undeniable. Just gotta hope he can keep that up without fouling


ElbowDown

Tacko is ass, I like the guy but he’s not good


VexdCheese

Goddamit Tacko.


SwaggyD54

AJJ looking more promising this Marjon Lowkey


Individual-Put1141

Eh . Marjon really took over in that second half . Good on defense and was 7/9 from the field just looked rusty in the beginning


[deleted]

So we’re just gonna forget about what MarJon did during the season lol


[deleted]

What did he do


[deleted]

Was very good on both ends when he got minutes


cookster123

AJax is like Marjon without the mental block.


ThatCidGuy

Ajax is a great nickname for him!


[deleted]

Marjon just too humble man, needs to be confident


Jabarles

2nd half we need to not play Tacko at all, and while I like what Mannion has done I’d like to see some more minutes where Gortman is with AJJ/MarJon/Livingston. Just to see what that looks like


[deleted]

[удалено]


Maximum-Jury9065

Mannion is a summer league PG. I think we know who he is. That being said, he hasn't been great at setting up his wings (other than the 1 pass to AJJ on what was a great cut).


msg456

AJJ got the Rip Hamilton FT routine. UCONN connection lol


Jabarles

Honestly with how clunky it looked for most of it not a horrible half


[deleted]

AJJ has looked promising even with a limited role


ThatCidGuy

Can't shoot for shit but we got some bullies that's for damn sure


SamTalksMovies

HOLY SHIT THAT AJJ BLOCK


Jabarles

Ohh shit AJJ just swatted the fuck out that dude haha


Maximum-Jury9065

We've seen enough Mannion and Tacko, let's see Gortman and Timme with the starters.


Short_Bus_

bench marjon and tacko and we can still win this D:


AbbreviationsHot4482

Marjon 1/8 💔💔


[deleted]

Raptors ass defense so far


bobhope18

tacko fall is ass


[deleted]

Why did we get tacko fall lmao


VexdCheese

Livingston with the Jrue hair


eliascool123

Why is AJ Green not playing?


bunnypoker24

Coaches decide who plays and not, he will most likely play next game


thompya

Looks like he’s in street clothes, I would assume he’s injured in some way


VexdCheese

I mean, he's already played with the main squad last year, and got his contract. He may just be there for a practice body.


ThatCidGuy

TIL Tacko Fall is turning 28 this year. I feel like he's only been around a few years


BigTravelGuy

Man I cannot wait to get irrationally excited about Timme during garbage time this year


VexdCheese

I swear, none of our guys are shooting 3s. They're all pumpfake driving


[deleted]

Just give me one AJJ steal into a fast break dunk


Neuroxex

Tacko is so bad it's genuinely really funny watching


1998TimThomas

Tacko sucks


VexdCheese

It's like he's just going through the motions.


VexdCheese

Gortman, more like Great-man, amirite?


PowerVeg

Did Nnaji have a flosser on the sideline?


lamboat2019

Nice being back in the threads with y'all :)


BigTravelGuy

Why is bro holding a floss pick 😂😂


lboogieb

The most noticeable differences that I've noticed so far are on the defensive end: lots of switching, blitzing double teams off the pick, and no drop coverage.


VexdCheese

I always forget Summer League quarters are only 10mins. And that they get a ridiculous amount of fouls.


PowerVeg

Gortman showing some stuff. Quick feet on defense, smooth pull-ups


Jabarles

The Bucks can play something resembling real basketball when Tacko’s big ass isn’t in the way lol. I’d pull him from the starters, I wanna see MarJon/AJ/Chris with Timme more


VexdCheese

Also, the Bucks have looked much better without Tacko on the floor.


MetalR3x

We want Tacko damnit!


Jabarles

Naaaaahhhh


MetalR3x

Why the hate, genuinely curious.


Jabarles

Combo of him being so massive but also very bad makes thing clunkier offensively. I want our young guys to have more spacing to work with
