Jae to the Bucks

[AZWarrior]

I thought I should point out that Crowder was a 2nd round pick.

Yes, and Wes Matthews was a 2nd as well.  It worked out rather well for him.  :-)

Wes wasn't even a 2nd!

Go to youtube and search for Marquette pray. Watch it and enjoy. When i see it it lifts my spirits.  I have been around for 50 some years watching Warriors Basketball..  I have seen the posts recently about Boomer MU fans and fans today. I know the game has changed and I know MU has not been as successful as we were when we were an independent playing in a different day. Back in the day Marquette had a history of turning players into players who excelled in the NBA. Al found ballers in the New York neighborhoods where he grew up and convinced them to come and play for a team of rebels.  It never stopped. You don't find a Wade out on the playground in Chicago and bring him to town everyday. Was he a MacDonald's All American. Of course not. What brought Jimmy and Jae and countless others to Marquette?  There is always one common thread, one common bond. Play to represent and honor the university because you have been given the opportunity, and do everything you can to help yourself to be a better teammate and a better player. Beat Georgetown. Beat Xavier. Jae will be there. I guarantee it.

God bless you oilcan!  I appreciate your posts.

I love Oilcan as well.

I just wish Jae could be out there on the court playing, pushing butt, grabbing rebounds. We could really use him right now.

Can you get in OMax's ear?  If he's gonna make it to the next level he needs to be tier 1 level  pestiferous  imo.

Kinda crazy that two of my favorite Marquette players will be playing for the hometown Bucks at the same time, a decade or more later.

How many other fan bases can say that right now?

Knicks/Nova, but that'd be more like if Jae and Wes were playing for the Bulls.

They have Brunson and traded for Josh Hart, plus Arch until it came out he was headed to Portland in the same deal. Now add in hiring Jay Wright this summer...

Relatedly, the video of Brunson finding out they traded for Hart while at Nova for his jersey retirement is pretty cool. https://twitter.com/Capj1344/status/1623518897931538433?s=20&t=j4GCaxez45jrgyVttoB32w

Crowder and Shaka had a back and forth on twitter recently!

Hopefully maybe that means Jae is going to give a pregame hype speech to the team before the game Wednesday.

[oilcan]

Jae will talk to the team. It's his home turf. Again. He will emphasize the importance of rebounding. Part of the strategy so far has been if you shoot well enough you can win because of the three. And if you don't get easy buckets on the break (which hasn't happened enough recently) you need to execute in the half court. Understand that Oso can't muscle in after a missed hook. And OMax is sitting out on the perimeter to draw a big out of the lane to facilitate Tyler and the slashes to the rim. It's a hard game. I really thought OMax would turn into Dennis Rodman and tear down tons of rebounds. Sorry.  Jae will hopefully remind the team that each player has five fouls to give and they should knock some people down and grab some rebounds and get some put backs. Other teams do it. If a team like UConn shoots the lights out like the other night you can't counter that. But in the next 3 weeks some adjustments will be required. Finesse ball will not be enough because opponents will play bully ball. You have to use your fouls and knock people down. I wish Jae was playing because he would show the team how to get physical. All the way down the roster.

But at least the capitalization and punctuation are good.

[oilcan]

I don't like paragraphs and I don't like rules. There are too many rules. Why is that? I don't like high blood pressure. I need to calm down.

Butler beat Xavier with a buzzer beating shot tonight. I can't argue with that.

[Newsdreams]

Butler beat Xavier with a buzzer beating shot goaltending tonight. I can't argue with that.

Hey I resemble that remark!

Wesley 37 years old and in the NBA.  Wow, incredible.  Amazing athlete.

How many mins will Crowder play?  If you're Budenholzer would you start him at the 3 and play Middleton at the 2? 

Or do you play Allen 25 mins at the 2 and also find minutes for Connaughton?  Has Ingles done much?

I think I like Carter more than Budenholzer but I haven't watched the Bucks all that much.

I could see him playing 20-25 mins a game and perhaps starting as a glue guy if he can still shoot at a mid 30s clip from 3.
