AJ Green Signs Two-way Deal with Milwaukee Bucks

He's guaranteed to be on the two way through training camp so he's going to pocket $150k even if he would get cut after that.
He had nothing to gain by coming back to college. 23 year olds don't get drafted and he obviously knew that the Bucks were coming with the two way. It was time to go play against full grown men.
I'm just as guilty as anyone in overreacting to two summer league games. If the Bucks didn't really like him they wouldn't have immediately picked him up the minute the Draft was over. There's also a million other things that we don't see outside of the actual games. I wouldn't worry about Wigginton and Mamu, they fill vastly different roles and in Mamu's case especially, he really duplicates other guys on the roster that are signed for long term deals.
Now lets hope he and Zay both go off tonight.#MACtion

I could be way off, but I'd guess they knew he'd need some time to adjust. If they saw him as a contributor right away, he'd be playing more minutes. Even game 1 when he started 4-4 from 3, he only played 15 minutes. BC's comments on Grayson Allen really make sense in that regard too - sign AJ to take Grayson's place, give him a little time to develop and contribute in the future. It's been frustrating to watch because every miss I've seen him take either rattles in and out or is just a hair strong. It feels like he just needs to see a shot or two fall and he'll get hot. It would really be nice to see that 1st game 1st half AJ return tonight. Maybe Isaiah will see the floor tonight and have a chance to guard him.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

15 points. 3 boards. 1 assist (that should have been 4 if guys could make shots).
He's done everything he's needed to do this week for the Bucks to see they made the right choice with another game on Sunday.
Bring on camp and exhibition games.#MACtion

Definitely his best overall game tonight. Anybody know how the Summer League playoffs work? I think there's a champion, but I'm not really sure how it works. I saw they're giving out rings to the champion, so I'm assuming the league isn't completely done. After going 3-1, I'd think the Bucks might have a chance to keep playing.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

1. Point differential: The team with the greatest point differential through four games receives the higher seed.
2. Random drawing: The higher seed will be determined by a “coin flip.”
It looks right now there are 4 teams 3-1, with nobody 4-0. Milwaukee is 2nd in point differential, but 3 teams who are 2-1 have a better point differential with a game to play. So yes, clear as mud. Milwaukee led a lot of their game vs Boston, too bad they couldn't finish it out. Boston banked in a prayer 3 with 2 seconds left to win it.Last edited by CyCarp; 07-14-2022, 08:45 PM.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

That was a strange game.Winning is more fun than losing.

I thought that was AJ's best game defensively. I'm by no means saying he's a lock down defender, but I would certainly say he was serviceable last night. I was impressed that he spent a lot of time guarding Jaden Hardy (one of the top high school prospects a couple years ago, played for G-League Ignite last year, and was an early 2nd round draft pick a few weeks ago) and held his own - I know AJ didn't guard Hardy the entire time he was on the court, but Hardy finished 3 of 13 shooting with 7 pts.

AJ was definitely getting recognition from the announcers.
That's a tough league. Lots of talent there.
