    • In what the host believes was the second quarter, the Bucks played a young lineup: Nate Ament, Kasparas Jakucionis, Kel'el Ware, Brayden Burries and AJ Green. Host's framing: four of them have three or fewer years of Bucks service time. at 7:54
    • Host says Brayden Burries might eventually become a multi-position defender because of his frame. He says none of the current guards, including Rollins, are in a Jrue Holiday category. at 15:40
    • Host analysis: Kasparas Jakucionis is the team's only true point guard. Rollins, Herro, Kevin Porter Jr. and Burries are described as combo guards. at 18:49

  • Podcast Numbers on the Board host · Report · around the league

    “LIVE From Chicago! | Numbers On The Board” at 28:42 · listen ↗

  • Podcast Hardwood Knocks host · Analysis · around the league

    Brayden Burries didn't shoot threes well in preseason. Playing time in Milwaukee is a question because there are many guards; the preseason lowered the host's view after a strong summer league.

    • Camille Davis: Davis thinks cutting Kevin Porter Jr. opens up more minutes for Brayden Burries. She already saw him as an immediate rotation player, even at 10–15 minutes. at 5:08
    • Camille Davis: Davis says it is still up in the air how much the rookies Nate Ament and Brayden Burries will play, because of the veterans ahead of them. at 4:36
    • Camille Davis: Davis says Brayden Burries' three-point shot hasn't been there so far. She still projects him as a three-level guard who already uses his physicality well for a rookie. at 5:11
    • Camille Davis: Davis says Ryan Rollins picked up full court in the preseason and Brayden Burries used his body to pressure ball handlers. She says the Bucks want to create defensive havoc but questions whether the roster can do it at the expected level. at 14:44

    • Justin Garcia: Justin thinks the move will help Kasparas Jakucionis most, and reads it as a sign the Bucks plan to play him. It will also help Brayden Burries. at 14:07
    • Camille Davis: Before the cut the roster had seven guards: Brayden Burries, AJ Green, Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis, Porter, Rollins and Gary Trent Jr. at 15:23
    • Camille Davis: Camille thinks Brayden Burries had already earned a rotation spot of roughly 10–15 minutes a game, so the first guard up, which she sees as Jakucionis, benefits most. at 15:48
    • Camille Davis: In preseason, Brayden Burries and Kasparas Jakucionis attacked the rim. In the fourth preseason game, against the Bulls, the two went a combined 18-for-18 at the line. at 16:45

    • Burries scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the finale. at 7:39
    • Burries shot 2-of-17 (about 12%) from three across the four preseason games he played. at 7:50
    • In the finale, more of Burries' minutes than usual came against the opponent's regulars. He guarded Pascal Siakam a couple of times. at 9:53
    • The host feels very good about Burries. He sees him as a trusted rotation piece even at around 10 minutes, though not necessarily as a starter or a 30-minute player. at 9:02

    “ROSTER SHAKEUP: Milwaukee Bucks Waive Pete Nance—Will Another Team SNATCH Him or Is He Returning?” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Bucks · 6 points ·
    • Camille Davis: Bucks starters vs Bulls: Kasparas Jakucionis, Burries, Ousmane Dieng, Pete Nance and Jericho Sims. Bucks lost 125-104. at 3:23
    • Camille Davis: Burries was 1-7 for 2 points at halftime but had 4 assists. His first three assists produced the Bucks' first three baskets after a 9-0 deficit. at 4:12
    • Camille Davis: Burries scored 17 second-half points, including 11 in the third quarter. He had 3 offensive rebounds. at 5:06
    • Camille Davis: Host's view: Burries' reads were encouraging. He drew help and found teammates instead of forcing his own shot. at 4:53
    • Camille Davis: Host expects Burries will probably get fewer touches in shorter stints once games count. at 6:03
    • Camille Davis: Host analysis: Burries and Jakucionis went a combined 19-19 FT. Host calls that important because since the Giannis trade the Bucks lack a foul-drawer. Host says the Bucks were not good at getting to the line last year and that Giannis and Kevin Porter Jr. were the main foul-drawers last season. at 8:55

    “BREAKTHROUGH: Bucks Young Guards Brayden Burries & Kasparas Jakucionis in Ugly Loss to the Bulls” · listen ↗

  • Podcast Locked On Bucks · 4 points ·
    • Justin Garcia: Justin picks Brayden Burries as most important. He expects Burries' minutes to be spotty for the first weeks or months, then fully expects him to be a staple by February, with plenty of Rollins-Burries backcourts. at 16:32

    • Camille Davis: She expects spot starts before the deadline because of injuries or schedule quirks such as back-to-backs. at 22:45
    • Justin Garcia: Justin also takes the over and thinks Brayden Burries could already have about seven or eight starts by the week of the trade deadline. at 23:35
