In a preseason where we went 1-3, there's a few things I'm not
overly impressed with. My biggest takeaway however is Brogdon's
lack of impact on these games. Averaging like 5 points a game,
shooting 36% from the field is just not gonna get the job done
this coming season. I will willing to take the first 3 games as
"its only preseason" but that last game against the Pistons
where Kidd dragged him early really highlighted to me his slow
start. Fingers crossed it's just a minor form slump and not an
indication of this coming season.

The biggest takeaway is probably that key individuals have
looked pretty good, even while the team has looked pretty bad.
That tells us a couple of things.
The most obvious is that Giannis is completely essential to this
team functioning, but the second is that it's important to note
that it's not just him. Thon Maker's energy leading to a win --
after three losses when he didn't play -- isn't a coincidence.
Essentially, even with a superstar, the Bucks' success will be
tied to cohesion as a group as much as anything else. When they
look out of sync, things get really bad. When everything clicks,
they can beat any team in the NBA.

How important Thon Maker is to this team. His importance could
be noticed just as much in the three games he did not play as
the one that he did. When Thon Maker was on the court the Bucks
were +25, when he was off an abysmal -57.

My biggest takeaway from the preseason is how well the starters
were playing. The last preseason game against the Detroit
Pistons was the only game where all five opening day starters
were playing, and each one of them seemed to have elevated their
individual games to fit the team.
At points during his preseason games, it felt like Giannis
Antetokounmpo was playing in a street ball game, where no one
could match his level. He showed the capability of finding new
passing angles, and Giannis looks to have found an improved
ability to find open shooters after penetrating.

Even under the banner of it being preseason, I echo what some
have already said about the team's preseason being very
underwhelming.
There were various factors involved obviously with Giannis
missing the team's first two games, being without Thon for the
first three games and having to deal with the shortened training
camp. Nonetheless, it wasn't reassuring to see the Bucks showing
little signs of life at times and against teams that they should
look superior than, even with all that considered.
Other than that, I think it showed what we already know or
expected for those same exact reasons.
