There was a big hullabaloo about the Bucks acquiring Kasparas Jakucionis and the 13th overall pick in the draft (which became Nate Ament) from Miami. At the time, certainly, those were seen as two of the prime assets that Jon Horst was able to wrench out of the Heat’s hands. Accordingly, Bucks fans were hyped to watch both in action at Summer League.
Unfortunately, both players experienced a good amount of struggles (along with some positive moments too, to be fair) in Vegas. Jakucionis was something of a human turnover machine, while Ament looked out of place for the first three games just on a physical basis.
Therefore, for this week’s Reacts survey, we wanted to do a temperature check on how fans viewed the Giannis trade package after watching these players’ aforementioned Summer League struggles. Had they changed their tune from how they viewed the deal before they saw these two young Bucks play? Well, while the majority of fans had not (59%), a solid chunk (41%) had.
Milwaukee’s final game in Vegas is now locked in for tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. CDT against the Philadelphia 76ers.
