2026-27 Milwaukee Bucks / NBA Thread

[Joseph Zarr]

Ament showed things again in the final Bucks SL game. Just needs to fill out and keep grinding. There is promise there for sure - big relief.

AND, Burries is a starting Guard Day 1. What an absolute stud. He showed steady improvement using his body to draw contact while still finishing throughout SL - he's so strong. So composed. Plays hard on the defensive end. Shooter. Better handle than suspected. Unbelievable draft pick. It's already there. 

Great way for the young Bucks to end there Vegas time:

Even though they're probably going to have a pretty bad team, I think I'm more excited for this season than the past many. I don't know much about the non-Herro guys we got and I can't remember when I've been this anxious to see a draft pick play. Oh my goodness I had to look it up and the last particularly exciting draft pick was Thon Maker a decade ago. I really liked that guy even though he was the worst rebounder I've ever seen.

But it does feel like we have the makings, even if it's not a complete team yet. Like we've just completely restocked our role-player squad. Now all we need is to trade for that guy Giannis in Miami and we'll be set!

From what I saw, everything that had to be accomplished for the summer league team was. The 3 players that I cared about (Bogi, Ament and Burries). As a bonus and on a selfish note, Kam Jones did play well enough to warrant his 2 way contract.

I mean, I think we have to thank Dusty May for insisting on a U of M player over Burries. That was key. It is very possible the Bucks got the best most complete Guard of the coveted top 6. At #10. What an absolute steal Burries is. A LOT of prognosticators and FO's failed to see how much more was in his bag and how quickly he could add wrinkles to his game.
