I'm going through the same thing. Reading an author I've enjoyed twice before. But this one... it's just not doing it for me. I don't want to quit it, so I just need to stuck it up and knock it out so that I can get back in rhythm.

10 games, not 8.

That's fair. We're only 8 games in. He's going to have all of the opportunity in the world to play and expand his game.

He's still only playing 23.6 mpg. He still has a foul problem. It's difficult to see him playing him significantly more minutes. To me - it seems like 20 mpg off the bench would be ideal for him/the team.

That leaves Queata as the only current rotation big for the future. So between now and the start of next season, we have to find a way to get (at least) one rotation quality center. Right now I'll settle for someone that doesn't hurt you when he's on the court. Brad will figure it out.

If we're looking at this year as a try out/prove it year, the early returns seem to be that Boucher and Tillman (both in the last year of their contracts) will/should not be back. Garza has one more year, and he has so far shown that he is a third (or 4th) center and not a rotation piece.

I have two more, but I've used them so much all of the paint is gone. And it feels weird to be like "and trust me, these used to say Celtics too".
November 7, 2025 at 2:32 PM
And maybe I'm completely wrong there. Playing Boucher and Tillman at the 4 has been a disaster. But it feels like we could do better than that...

I'd add a real PF to that mix as well. We're fine with Minnott on the floor, but his game doesn't lend itself to 30+ mpg. Having someone at the 4 who can legitimately rebound and keep opposing 4s off the glass would be huge. Though in the future Tatum would be taking those min, so less of a need.

This feels like Joe's vision. Let's see if we can maintain the energy.

The 85 Bucks finished with 59 Ws in the regular season. 86 had 57. Moncrief, Pressey, and Cummings were a great trio. Cummings was a designated scorer. Pressey was getting 1st and 2nd team all defense recognition and MVP votes. He played 1-3 at 6'5 w/ 5 straight seasons with at least 6.6 apg
