In what will easily go down as the worst effort of the season, the Milwaukee Bucks got blown out by the Charlotte Hornets by a score of 109-138. There’s a nearly unlimited number of fingers that can be pointed in this one, but almost none are more apparent than a team-wide slow start from the tipoff. Milwaukee Bucks Disastrous Start The first quarter of this game couldn’t have been much uglier. The Bucks put up a respectable 28 points but forgot anything about how to defend and found themselves down 28-51 at the end of the first 12 minutes. No,…

Tyler Wahl

It’s about time to find out if the 2022-23 Wisconsin Men’s Basketball Team runs as Tyler Wahl does. The Badgers leading scorer went down with a right ankle injury early into the first half of their 63-60 win over the University of Minnesota on January 3rd, 2022. Though questions about the timetable for his return remain, let’s take a look at what makes him such a valuable member of the University of Wisconsin’s program. Tyler Wahl Spotlight Strength: Footwork/Defensive Versatility Wahl’s craftiness around the paint wouldn’t be possible without an elite level of footwork. At 6-foot-9, he’s tied for the…

Bojan Bogdanovic

Bojan Bogdanovic in a Milwaukee Bucks jersey could certainly bring something special. Matt Moore of Action Network recently revealed the Bucks could have their eyes on the savvy veteran, and the Detroit Pistons just might be ready to pull the trigger on a trade: Another potential target for Milwaukee: Bojan Bogdanovic from the Detroit Pistons. There’s not much feeling that the Pistons are eager to move their best player with Cade Cunningham out, but as the team transitions more towards draft positioning this season Milwaukee will look to bid if the Pistons make Bogdanovic available. Bogdanovic might have just started the…

One injury to the Milwaukee Bucks bench has the chance to expose what could be the team’s most glaring weakness. Despite going 5-5 in their last 10 games, Milwaukee still sits in third place in the NBA’s Eastern Conference and only 1.5 games behind the leading Boston Celtics. With a growingly competitive East, it would be wise for the Bucks to evaluate potential problems down the road. One that could get overlooked is the lack of bench depth and what an injury to one of its best players could mean. For Milwaukee Bucks, it’s Bobby Portis or Bust In a…
