Summer League will be fans’ first chance to see how rookie draft picks Chris Livingston and Andre Jackson Jr. will fare in competitions. We will also have an opportunity to see how MarJon Beauchamp and AJ Green (who is now an RFA) do with a season under their belt. Even if that isn’t the fairest circumstance, we usually expect more from non-rookies in Summer League. Bucks fans should also expect two-way player Omari Moore and Gonzaga star Drew Timme as part of the roster as well.

Terry Stotts could be in line as the main assistant but this also could be a chance for assistants like Joe Prunty, Vin Baker, or Sidney Dobner a chance to show what they can do as well. Either way, don’t expect to see any tactics or schemes to be present, and instead some PnR and off-ball movements. There’s also the prime opportunity for guys to get theirs as they look to make a good impression. But I will still likely sit here watching the games thinking:
