Delon Wright signs with Bucks as NBA free agency speeds up

The Milwaukee Bucks signed another productive NBA veteran on Wednesday when they added Taurean Prince on a minimum deal, bringing the reported roster up to 14 players with Delon Wright and the two rookies factored in. Ti Windisch, Adam McGee, and Rohan Katti discussed Prince’s value and what he can provide to the Bucks, the real story of what he provides, the role new lead assistant coach Darvin Ham likely played in Prince’s decision, and whether or he one of the many other players in the running (Delon Wright, Andre Jackson Jr., A.J. Green, MarJon Beauchamp, Pat Connaughton??) will start. They also cover Irish national basketball for some reason. Plus Giannis Antetokounmpo’s journey with the Greek national team to qualify for the Olympics, and whether the Bucks are done and if the roster has any more changes coming, including trades. That conversation covered which out of Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, and Pat Connaughton are most likely to be dealt.

The Milwaukee Bucks made their first 2024 NBA free agent signing on Monday when they agreed to terms on a veteran minimum contract with Delon Wright, the defensively-gifted combo guard who most recently played for the Miami Heat. Ti Windisch, Rohan Katti, and Jordan Treske shared their full analysis of the signing, Wright as a player, and whether he fits best as a starter or coming off the bench. The Bucks also agreed to terms on a two-way deal with former Pistons forward Stanley Umude, a promising defensive prospect who has shown some flashes of being a good shooter too. After discussing Umude, the group moved on to cover available free agents still on the board who would fit well in Milwaukee, and then eventually spit-balled some potential trades given the Brook Lopez rumors persist.

The Milwaukee Bucks grabbed another exciting young player in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, selecting Tyler Smith out of the G League Ignite with the 33rd overall pick they had courtesy of the Portland Trail Blazers. Smith is a standout athlete with great size at 6'9" and a plus 7-foot wingspan who has a fluid jumper, and his tools pose a nice matchup in the frontcourt with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ti Windisch and Jordan Treske recorded live, discussing their updated thoughts on the first round, the prospects they liked at the start of the second, the Smith pick itself and how it helps the overall appeal of the draft class, and more league-wide thoughts as the draft went on.

The Milwaukee Bucks stunned the GSPN live stream crew by taking AJ Johnson, a raw young wing prospect who got scant minutes with the llawarra Hawks last season, with their first round pick (23 overall). Ti Windisch, Rohan Katti, Andrew Snyder and later Jordan Treske weighed in, sharing displeasure at Jon Horst selecting a player with virtually no chance of helping in the 2024-25 season and trying to figure out the logic of doing so while noting which players were picked soon after and which could be available Thursday afternoon when the Bucks pick again at 33 overall.

The 2024 NBA Draft is barely a week away, so Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti of the Gyro Step podcast compiled and shared their full big boards of players who should be available at Milwaukee’s 23rd overall pick and discussed their rankings. For this exercise, Ti and Rohan only considered players who were available at 23 or below in at least one of three big boards: ESPN, The Ringer, and Bleacher Report. This meant the following players were discussed: Kel’el Ware, Tristan Da Silva, Kyshawn George, Bobi Klintman, Isaiah Collier, Tyler Smith, Jaylon Tyson, DaRon Holmes, Tyler Smith, Kevin McCullar Jr., Baylor Scheierman, Pacome Dadiet, Tyler Kolek, Justin Edwards, Ryan Dunn, A.J. Johnson, Kyle Filipowski, Johnny Furphy, Cam Christie, and K.J. Simpson. Ahead of the big board discussion, Ti and Rohan shared their thoughts on the Boston Celtics and old friend Jrue Holiday winning the 2024 NBA Championship, and on if the Bucks would come to terms with any of their own free agents given the rule change in the last CBA that means teams can negotiate with their own FAs starting the day after the Finals end.

Gyro Step hosts Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti got ambitious on this week’s episode, as they covered Doc Rivers bringing in Darvin Ham as his new lead assistant, Jrue Holiday truly flourishing with the Boston Celtics, AND conducted their own NBA Mock Draft, making picks for each of the first 33 picks in the draft. The Bucks ended up with Rohan’s favorite prospect in the Mock Draft, and neither host was thrilled about their second round pick.

Given the Dallas Mavericks are up 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals, they instead of the Minnesota Timberwolves are now the squad to take team-building lessons from. The Dallas lesson is clear: athletic, rangy wing players around dynamic star ball-handlers. The good news for the Bucks is they have those ball-handlers in Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, plus Giannis Antetokounmpo who checks boxes in both of those skill sets. The bad news is a lot of the Bucks roster around them is old and slow. Ahead of today’s Gyro Step, Ti Windisch compiled a list of players similar to Derrick Jones Jr. using three-point shooting, height, wingspan, and average speed and sorted a list of 17 players who are either feasibly obtainable for Milwaukee or actually already on the roster, and then he and Rohan Katti discussed each option. At the end their picked their favorites from the list and chose who they wanted the Bucks to acquire the most. Also, before the DJJ Matrix talk Ti and Rohan discussed the NBA Finals matchup (probably) of Boston vs Dallas and who they hated less out of the two teams, and the insane rumor that the Bucks are a James Harden landing spot option according to oddsmakers.

The 2024 NBA Playoffs are thrilling and always offer takeaways for the teams not lucky enough to still be battling for an NBA Championship, which unfortunately includes the Milwaukee Bucks right now. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discuss their biggest takeaways from the ongoing playoff action in both conference and how the lessons learned apply to the Bucks, including the importance of size, length, and athleticism, how hard it is for specialists to succeed, the importance of off-ball defense, and of course the major impact health makes in this setting.
