Jaime Jaquez Jr. spoke after Bucks practice: He said his mindset hasn't changed regarding an extension other than instead of taking it "day-by-day" he's going "hour-by-hour" at this point regarding a potential rookie scale extension with his new team.

- Through three games Jaquez is the second-leading scorer at 20+ per game, shooting about 61% from the field and 56% on threes, and is first on the team in free-throw attempts. at 5:17
- Host values Jaquez's grab-and-go play, his ability to start transition and get to the line, and his positional versatility. He calls Jaquez a perfectly fine defender, not an All-Defense type. at 6:24
- Host analysis: the roster's biggest missing piece is a perimeter/wing defender who can guard threes and athletic fours. Ament has the most tools for that job. Host doubts that Kuzma (consistency), Ousmane Dieng or Jaquez (beaten by quick first steps) can fill it. at 15:13

- Kasparas Jakucionis went 6-of-6 from the free-throw line. He and Jaime Jaquez Jr each attempted six free throws, which led the team. at 8:55
- Jaime Jaquez Jr went 8 of 12 from the field and 5 of 6 from the line. His 7 rebounds led the Bucks. at 9:45
- Washington started Trae Young on Jaime Jaquez Jr. Jaquez exploited it with a back-cut on the game's first possession, off a bounce pass from Kuzma. at 16:39
- Frank says transition was not the problem. Jaquez leaked out and single-handedly outscored the Wizards in transition in the first half (about 12-2). The final transition score was 16-9 to the Bucks. at 14:39
- Frank's view: the Bucks have to play fast on offense ("play fast or die") because they lack shot creation. Pairing Kuzma and Jaime Jaquez Jr is tough because opponents don't respect either forward's perimeter shooting. at 16:15
