The Milwaukee Bucks are starting and relying heavily on 36-year-old Brook Lopez as they look to contend for a championship with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Why haven’t the Bucks found a Lopez successor yet? That’s the question Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti covered on the latest Gyro Step, walking through how difficult it’s been league-wide to find diamonds in the rough at the center position and why the Bucks are probably better suited to replace Brook once he’s actually gone. Ti and Rohan then looked at the Bucks current two-way players and Exhibit 10 contracts who will play a lot with the Herd this season, including three centers, although none of them poised to help Milwaukee at the NBA level anytime soon.

The Milwaukee Bucks roster is loaded with intriguing players, so Ti Windisch welcomed Nathan Marzion on the Gyro Step to talk about all of them! Ti had Nathan rank the roster in order of importance from spot 1 (Giannis Antetokounmpo, of course) to spot 15, and had a question that the two of them discussed regarding each player. Follow Nathan on Twitter @NathanMarzion! Giannis Antetokounmpo – Do you think he’ll screen and roll more in 2024-25? Damian Lillard – What should we reasonably expect from Dame with his conditioning and comfort level higher going into the season? I feel I am unreasonably excited. Khris Middleton – Will he play more or fewer games next season? Khris played 55 last season. Brook Lopez – Do you think we’ll see more zone or other coverages than just drop this season? Gary Trent Jr. – Do you think his offense or defense will be more important to the Bucks? He’s better on offense, but it feels Milwaukee needs that less? Delon Wright – Will he end up being the most important Bucks bench player? His two-way versatility and fit with Dame is pretty intriguing. Taurean Prince – Will Prince, like Beasley before him, have a career-best three-point shooting season? His career high is 40.0% Bobby Portis – Will Bobby find a lane with Doc and this revamped coaching staff? He has not excelled in any one defensive coverage and his offense feels less important. AJ Green – What skill outside of shooting has impressed you the most about AJ Green? Andre Jackson Jr. – Pick one thing Ajax needs to fix: his jumper, not looking at the basket on drives, or his fouling? Pat Connaughton – Is Pat C a shooting resurgence away from jumping up several spots on this list? He showed some nice ball-handling flashes last season when pressed into PG duty. Chris Livingston – Do you believe CL can grow into an ideal stretch 4 within the next 2-3 years? MarJon Beauchamp – Is MarJon’s Bucks tenure essentially over, or can he still find a real role? AJ Johnson – Assuming he’s mostly a Herd player this year, what would you like to see from AJ in an ideal world to show he’s progressing? Tyler Smith – Rohan and I have already pushed Smith to an MPJ sort of role as a best case, but do you think he could ever actually defend the 5?

Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel kindly took the time to discuss his latest article, an in-depth feature on Damian Lillard that he reported on the scene of Dame’s camp near Portland, Oregon, with Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti of the Gyro Step.

The Milwaukee Bucks had a great summer, adding Gary Trent Jr., Taurean Prince, and Delon Wright to their existing core of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, etc. But despite the good work by Jon Horst, where do the Bucks stack up compared to the rest of the Eastern Conference? Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti went from the top to the bottom and shared their perspective on who the best and worst teams in the East are, and how Milwaukee fits into the picture.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s quest to get an Olympic medal sadly ended early on Tuesday morning as Greece lost to Germany 76-63. Giannis still leads the entire Olympics in scoring but his teammates couldn’t take advantage of the space Germany allowed them while constantly sending help Giannis’ way. Ti Windisch and Adam McGee discussed the disappointing result and tough road forward from here for the Greek side before diving into thoughts on the rest of the tournament. Finally, they covered the Bucks final signing of the offseason as Milwaukee added 7 footer Anzejs Pasecniks as the third two-way, completing a pretty fun potential Wisconsin Herd lineup with the rookies and two-ways.
