@CoryJennerjohn: "When the Bucks chose Damian Lillard over Jrue Holiday, the future was lost. Holiday was perfect because he can score and play defense. Lillard prefers not to play defense — and sometimes his scoring doesn't show up either."

The Bucks have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA, but they are showing significant struggles to start the 2024-25 season.

Following Memphis, they will resume action on Saturday evening when they host Donovan Mitchell and the Clevleand Cavaliers in Milwaukee.
