3 Things that Stood Out From New Bucks Coach's Opening Press Conference

  • Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam wants a decision on Giannis Antetokounmpo's future before the NBA Draft on June 23, stating the organization must determine whether the star stays or they acquire assets.
  • The Bucks finished with a 32-50 record this season, snapping nine straight playoff appearances, while injuries limited Antetokounmpo to a career-low 36 games.
  • Milwaukee hired former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins as its new head coach, and he led Memphis to a 250-214 regular-season record during his tenure.
  • Haslam stressed that communication with the star remains positive despite what "ESPN" writers report, while Jenkins said he established a "really good relationship" with him from a distance.
  • In the coming weeks, the organization faces a critical decision as the Bucks hold the option to offer Antetokounmpo a four-year, $275 million contract extension in October.
