Andre Jackson Jr is *checks notes* hitting threes.

Best shooting night of Andre's career, I think.

Bucks still stink tho. And I love it.

Last night was obviously an outlier performance, but actually bumped Andre up to 40.9% from three on the year lol

Andre Jackson: 0.8 3PM/gm at 40.9%
Gary Trent: 1.3 at 27.5%
Bobby Portis: 0.8 at 25.6%
Pat Connaughton: 0.9 at 30.0%

Andre obviously isn’t going to hit 80% of his threes every night but the Bucks are middle of the pack in three point shooting. 1 three a game in the mid 30% is needed by one of the 4 guys. Why not Ajax?

Trent struggling from 3 so much is surprising, thought he was a steal for the Bucks at his price considering his production but he hasn't been good

Donovan gets his rings!!

Asjha Jones with the assist

All the players are like, "Damn, I should have gone to UConn."

Portland's a new team since DC has started.

Almost like he has a huge impact on winning or something lol

Clingan with 21 minutes, 6 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks on 3-4 shooting. Need someone who watched this game to tell me what on earth happened as he was a -20 in 21 minutes, in a 4 point win

Tyrese played 1 garbage time minute. Grabbed a board and hit a three

Drummond and Ajax play today

G League -

Sanogo 19 points and 13 rebounds on 7-13 shooting

Does Vance Jackson count? Was scrolling scores and saw his name. He plays for Toronto’s team, although doesn’t seem like he gets many minutes. 7 minutes and 0-2 last night

Newton and Bouknight play today

I think their over/under on wins for the season was like 22. They are going to crush that total even if they go full Cooper Flagg mode at the end of the season. As we know, Clingan helps winning.

I haven’t followed but Sanogo is so great and he’s still in G? Will he get a decent chance to play and stay at the next level?

He's on a two way deal so he is eligible to swing between the G League team and NBA team. Last night would have been a good opportunity for garbage time NBA minutes as Chicago got blown out by 30+. He has gotten a few minutes in 2 games this year. Last year he got a lot of minutes in one of their last games of the season and had 22pts/20reb

I thought the Bulls would blow it up and rebuild, but seems like they are still trying (but failing) to win. I assume Vucevic will get traded eventually which could open up some Sanogo minutes. But right now he's the third C on the depth chart so is mostly in the G League

I can’t believe that there isn’t some team that could benefit from his tenacity and rebounding. I admit to not knowing much about the NBA.

He actually looked really good in the Summer League. I think it's just a matter of him being a 6'9 low post C in the modern NBA that requires floor spacing

If Sanogo had been around in the early 90's, he'd be getting plenty of PT on an NBA team. Unfortunately, today's game is either 1) You can shoot the 3, or 2) you are an elite defender. If you aren't either of those 2 (especially as an undersized big man), gonna be tough to crack any lineup unfortunately.

Sucks that Cam Spencer is still dealing with that ankle injury.
