Chasing Derrick Jones Jr: How the Bucks can add athletic wing players | Gyro Step

Given the Dallas Mavericks are up 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals, they instead of the Minnesota Timberwolves are now the squad to take team-building lessons from. The Dallas lesson is clear: athletic, rangy wing players around dynamic star ball-handlers. The good news for the Bucks is they have those ball-handlers in Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, plus Giannis Antetokounmpo who checks boxes in both of those skill sets. The bad news is a lot of the Bucks roster around them is old and slow.
Ahead of today’s Gyro Step, Ti Windisch compiled a list of players similar to Derrick Jones Jr. using three-point shooting, height, wingspan, and average speed and sorted a list of 17 players who are either feasibly obtainable for Milwaukee or actually already on the roster, and then he and Rohan Katti discussed each option. At the end their picked their favorites from the list and chose who they wanted the Bucks to acquire the most.
Also, before the DJJ Matrix talk Ti and Rohan discussed the NBA Finals matchup (probably) of Boston vs Dallas and who they hated less out of the two teams, and the insane rumor that the Bucks are a James Harden landing spot option according to oddsmakers.

I wouldn't want James Harden regardless of the salary. Guessing he wouldn't want to be in Wisconsin either

[@JacobKraemer414]

Gary Harris , Spencer Dinwiddie , Simone Fotecchio. Alec Burcs , Alex Caruso. Rob co , Andre Drummond. Aaron Holiday would all be cool pick ups

[@robertbrooks6507]

Harris bothers me bc he has frequent injuries, Dinwiddie would be nice if we can get for cheap, Fotecchio and Burks are interesting, Caruso would rob us of all our picks. Besides the Bulls will not play nice, Drummond I would love and Holiday is oh well

[@JacobKraemer414]

@@robertbrooks6507 yeah really not too many free agents out there to go get with our cap space , we are in a pinch

[@ssjj005]

Let's go get Caruso or Ayo Dosumu or Pat Will

[@mrRambleGamble]

You will not get DJJ. We won't give him up

[@worldzworstgamer6539]

I’d rather die then watch the Celtics win I’d watch the mavs win and watch media scramble to not call Luka the face of the league

[@theetruth8626]

Luka not the face or even the best player
