Milwaukee Bucks told they have ‘hidden hero‘ with amazing chemistry with Giannis Antetokounmpo

Fred Katz praises Milwaukee Bucks hidden hero pick-and-roll chemistry with Giannis Antetokounmpo Other players like Ryan Rollins, who sparked against Golden State, need to demonstrate the consistency necessary to be reliable secondary options. Giannis Antetokounmpo clearly needs a consistent contributor to step up, especially following the loss to Houston. However, NBA journalist Fred Katz believes the Bucks actually possess a hidden hero who has developed excellent chemistry with Giannis. “AJ Green has been a hidden hero for them. He has been so fantastic. His chemistry with Giannis is amazing. They run such a great pick and roll game,” Katz revealed. Green excels as a screen setter, creating opportunities to find open space on the perimeter where Giannis can locate him for three-point attempts.

Brandin Podziemski told to fix one thing to become Warriors’ third guy behind Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler

Dalton Johnson emphasizes shooting improvement as key to Brandin Podziemski’s ascension Warriors expert Dalton Johnson believes Brandin Podziemski represents the best candidate to become that third scoring option. Podziemski has impressed during preseason, though Johnson identifies one specific area requiring improvement. “We know how much Steve Kerr loves the ways that Brandin Podziemski connects everything. That’s his big buzz word, that he’s a connector,” Johnson explained. “Podziemski does the little things, taking the charges, falling on the ground, keeping the ball moving.” “But if he can make that year three leap, especially as a shooter like we saw his one season at Santa Clara, that’s when you’re going to see someone who can really contribute to this team on a night-in, night-out basis, and be more of a scoring option when Steph Curry or Jimmy Butler might need a night off,” he added. Johnson emphasized Podziemski’s shooting efficiency as the critical factor determining whether he can provide reliable scoring alongside the Warriors’ established stars.

Steve Kerr reveals how Warriors rookies Will Richard and LJ Cryer are faring in practice

Undrafted LJ Cryer emerges as two-way contract candidate Kerr also highlighted undrafted guard LJ Cryer, who signed an Exhibit 10 contract providing opportunity to compete for a two-way roster spot. “We like LJ Cryer, free agent from Houston. I love having guys from winning programs. He’s been impressive in camp,” Kerr stated. Breaking into the Warriors’ veteran-heavy roster presents significant challenges for rookies attempting to earn immediate playing time. The franchise’s established system and experienced personnel create high barriers for unproven players. Warriors history demonstrates their developmental approach, typically sending rookies to the G-League’s Santa Cruz Warriors for substantial playing time before integrating them into the NBA rotation. This patient strategy has produced consistent results with previous second-round selections.
