Milwaukee Bucks News and Analysis Since 2007
New Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins has narrowed his coaching staff, according to a report from Eric Nehm and Sam Amick of The Athletic. In a trio of moves that align with the Bucks’ desire for a cultural reset, Jenkins will bring Joe Boylan to Milwaukee for the first time, while retaining the services of […]
Caleb Wilson, a 6’10” forward out of UNC, did not enter the year projected to go this high (and possibly even higher on draft night), but his unique intersection of athleticism, dexterity, and skill jumped off the page this season, cementing his place among the other top guys by the end of it. Put simply, […]
Born from a basketball pedigree, Cameron Boozer is a natural-born winner. Boozer has made a case as possibly the most accomplished high school player of all time, claiming four Florida state championships, three Nike EYBL (Elite Youth Basketball League) rings, two gold medals, and countless individual awards. This isn’t a coincidence; Boozer has one of […]
Unsurprisingly, Darryn Peterson has slotted in at second on our community draft board. The Kansas guard is one of three players widely considered to be worthy of the top spot in the draft. Whichever team lands him in June will surely be ecstatic. What makes Peterson such a great prospect? It all starts with his […]
AJ Dybantsa has been hyped as a generational prospect for years, and it’s not hard to see why. At 6’9” with a seven-foot wingspan, Dybantsa fits the modern wing prototype to a tee. In his lone year at BYU, he averaged 25.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.7 APG, and 1.4 stocks per game on 51.0% from […]
Well, it’s been several years since we did this—since 2022—but now that the Bucks will be making their highest draft pick in a decade, it’s time to bring back an old favorite: our community draft board. Back when we last undertook this project, Milwaukee was picking 24th overall and chose MarJon Beauchamp (we skipped 2024, […]

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.

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 […]
