Milwaukee Bucks News and Analysis Since 2007
On Sunday afternoon, the Milwaukee Bucks found out they’d received the 10th overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft, a pick that they absolutely cannot afford to mess up. Analysts have had their say on who they think should be taken, and you soon will too (more on that to come). Until then, franchise saviour, […]
I had the incredible experience of being Brew Hoop’s eyes and ears at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago this past week. As much as I didn’t want to leave, I’m home now, but I left with plenty of thoughts on prospects the Bucks may be targeting with their 10th overall pick. There was a […]
The Bucks have the no. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, where they can go in a number of different directions. Analysts around the internet have made a case for who they believe the 10th pick should be. Here’s a look at three potential outcomes for the selection: Nate Ament, Tennessee Kevin O’Connor […]
On a day of terrible news around the NBA (our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke AND trailblazing center Jason Collins), there is a small bit of good news for Bucks fans. You may recall that, towards the end of the regular season, Giannis Antetokounmpo infamously called on the […]
Having checked in with the Western Conference, it’s time for the Bucks to look in their own backyard. Comebacks, upsets, and tougher-than-expected series defined the first round. But what does this all mean for Milwaukee? Let’s dive in. Detroit Pistons vs. Orlando Magic What happened? For two weeks, the NBA time-travelled back to the early […]
The ball is beginning to roll on the Milwaukee Bucks’ offseason, which could include moving on from Giannis Antetokounmpo. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Bucks are listening to offers on a potential Antetokounmpo trade over the next several weeks: “The Milwaukee Bucks are open for business on trade calls and offers for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo entering the […]
The dust has settled on the NBA Draft Lottery. The Milwaukee Bucks will be picking 10th on draft night this June. Now that the initial excitement (or disappointment, although if that’s how you’re feeling, that’s on you for getting your hopes up in the first place) has worn off after a good night’s sleep, let’s […]

The drama of the NBA Draft Lottery came and went Sunday afternoon, and the most likely landing spot for the Bucks is what they get: they will select 10th in next month’s NBA Draft. As I’ve written about extensively, including this morning, the first-round pick swap they traded to New Orleans—which became property of Atlanta […]
It’s an important day for the Bucks: the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery takes place at 2 p.m. Central this afternoon. Shortly thereafter, we’ll know where Milwaukee will select for their first lottery pick since 2016: will they get really (and I mean really) lucky and receive a top-four selection in what’s long been called a […]
The Milwaukee Bucks face a difficult decision this offseason regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the franchise. Antetokounmpo could be seeking a trade to a team closer to competing for a championship as he enters his 30’s and the Bucks’ attempts at remaining competitive have fallen short, especially after a 50-loss campaign that saw […]
It was a helluva run. Five first-round exits, two semi-finals defeats, a conference finals heartbreak, and right in the middle of it all, ultimate glory. Nine years of playoff basketball. 47 wins and 42 losses—more than a season’s worth of postseason action. Now, for the first time since the 2015-16 season, the Milwaukee Bucks are […]
The Taylor Jenkins era officially began this afternoon, as the Bucks formally introduced him to a crowd of fans, media, and a few players, including Myles Turner, Bobby Portis, and AJ Green, at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The 16th head coach in franchise history (not including interim head coaches like Joe Prunty) was flanked by […]
ESPN’s Shams Charania recently reported that the NBA has disclosed to its 30 general managers a new anti-tanking proposal, with a final vote by the league’s board of governors set for May 28. I’m sure most people are aware of the specifics by now, but if you aren’t, here’s what you need to know: Here […]
2025 Milwaukee Bucks second-rounder Bogoljub Markovic won Serbia’s ABA League MVP, the ABA announced Friday. Markovic, who averaged 18.2 points, a league-leading 9.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, won 50.4% of the votes.

The Milwaukee Bucks will play three games in the four-team California Classic Summer League, the NBA announced last Wednesday. The Bucks will face the Golden State Warriors on July 4, the Brooklyn Nets on July 5, and the Sacramento Kings on July 6 in the Golden 1 Center. This is Milwaukee’s first year participating in […]
With apologies to Thanasis and Alex, the final edition of our pop quiz series focuses on the Bucks’ gaggle of off-ball guards/wings to round out the roster. Aside from Ryan, you’d be hard-pressed to say the other four met or exceeded expectations, and at least one fell well short of them. Here’s hoping for better […]
We continue our pop quiz series with the Bucks’ non-Giannis forward corps. Only one of these guys played a full season with the Bucks, but all arguably exceeded expectations given how low those were due to prior underperformance or injury. Let’s first review their years before the questions. Season in a snippet Ousmane Dieng 30 […]
While we’re still waiting for the Bucks to make it official, an ESPN report indicating that Taylor Jenkins will be their next head coach from last Thursday hasn’t been refuted anywhere, so we can count on it, I suppose. Zac weighed in on the hire over the weekend, which had been telegraphed going back a […]
Up next in our pop quiz series are the Bucks’ backup bigs: Bobby Portis, Jericho Sims, and Pete Nance. But while they share on-court positions, these guys play completely different games. How well do you know them? Season in a snippet Bobby Portis 67 GP, 24.2 MPG, 13.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 1.6 APG, 0.6 SPG, […]
On Thursday, news broke that the Milwaukee Bucks will hire Taylor Jenkins as their new head coach. This came just 11 days after it was announced that Doc Rivers would no longer be coaching the team, which itself came out on the same day their 2025–26 season officially ended. If these were clues to a […]
You might have passed the tests on Giannis Antetokounmpo, Ryan Rollins, and Kevin Porter Jr., but how will you fare with Myles Turner? A surprise addition to Milwaukee’s roster last offseason, Turner was supposed to catapult the Bucks back into contention. Instead, he arguably had his worst season as a professional. Season in a snippet […]
The Bucks will hire ex-Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins to take over their coaching vacancy, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Milwaukee’s ownership group, including GM Jon Horst and owners Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam, flew down to Memphis last week to discuss the team’s potential future under Jenkins. This follows Doc Rivers’ resignation as Bucks […]
Pop quiz one focused on Giannis Antetokounmpo, while pop quiz two featured Ryan Rollins. Up next is the most divisive Buck, Kevin “Sakuta” Porter Jr. Season in a snippet 38 GP, 33.2 MPG, 17.4 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 7.4 APG, 2.2 SPG, 0.5 BPG, .465/.322/.878 Kyle’s end of season grade: B- Porter ended last season on […]
Last week, NBA media submitted their ballots for regular-season awards, with the late-breaking stipulation that Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic were indeed eligible despite playing fewer than 65 games. What a stupid rule. As we hope that one goes the way of the dodo bird in short order, and as hardware starts to come out […]
