What or who stood out to you as your biggest takeaway from
pre-season?

I rather focus on the positives than the negatives to save us
all time as well as keep up the good feelings for the start of
the season, so I'm going with Jabari's play throughout the
preseason. While there wasn't anything groundbreaking in his
performance throughout the preseason, seeing Jabari come out of
the gate as a consistent scorer was reaffirming what he had done
after the All-Star break last year (Jabari averaged 17.2 points
per game in the preseason).
Obviously with Middleton out, there's more added pressure on
Jabari to step in and possibly become the team's top/go-to
scorer this season. If what he did in the preseason is a taste
of what's to come in the regular season, I think that would
leave all Bucks fans satisfied with how far he's come since
returning from his injury just a year ago.

Jabari Parker easily stood out for me the most during the
preseason for the Bucks. Going on stats alone, he led the Bucks
in points, rebounds, and minutes per game. Parker clearly looks
like he is ready for an enlarged role this season, especially in
light of the Khris Middleton injury.
If Jabari can come close to his pre-draft hype of the next
Carmelo Anthony type four, Bucks fans should be delighted to see
what this kid can do.

After signing with the team this offseason, I thought both
Matthew Dellavedova and Mirza Teletovic looked extremely
comfortable with the team during the preseason. Teletovic has
absolutely no hesitation on his jump shot as well as being very
proficient from behind the arc. As long as Telly stays healthy,
his ability to stretch the floor both in transition and in the
half court will help Giannis and Jabari attack the basket.
As for Delly, he not only looked sharp from three, but also as a
playmaker. He seems to have developed great chemistry with the
other players on the team, which allows him to throw alley-oops
and dish out for three-pointers with great accuracy.

The Bucks have some guys that can make three pointers! And
maybe, just maybe, Jabari Parker is one of them. Though even if
he isn't, Jabari showed more than enough to keep hopes of a
break out season alive. He looked fantastic! There were worrying
offensive lulls in several games and consistency was a bit of an
issue on both ends, but that is sort of the nature of the
pre-season beast.

Jordan sort of stole my thunder on this as I've talked him to
death on the podcast in recent weeks with my burgeoning love for
Jabari, but I thought he was great in preseason. Consistency is
the key for him moving forward, and although effort and desire
has always been there for him, it's his understanding of the
game that at these early glimpses looks to be improving.
I feel Jabari's no-nonsense, all business demeanor is important
for this team. The Bucks have a great mix of personalities in
the locker room, and lots of guys who want to win, but I think
Jabari has something different. For the most successful, it's
often not the desire to win that drives them, but a fear of
losing. Jabari HATES losing, and that leaves me very excited for
his future.

Major Positives: Everything about Jabari. The ease with which
Giannis dominated his man on the inside. The impact of Delly's
fluid ball movement and shooting. Teletovic's willingness to
fire from anywhere behind the three-point line. A couple of
games with solid contributions from Henson (+7.3 net rating).
Novak's 187.1 offensive rating and +79.8 offensive rating.
Disappointing Negatives: Vaughn shot 15.4% from the field and
11.1% from deep (although he only played two games due to
injury). Monroe's missed lay-ups. Beasley's shot selection is as
bad as advertised. Plumlee did not look anything like the
2015-16 PlumLord. Thon averaged under 15 minutes per game.
