Winners & Sinners: Week 1

Zac Day of Brew Hoop breaks down the Milwaukee Bucks' opening week of the season with his new weekly feature evaluating top and struggling performers. Day names Jaime Jaquez Jr. as the team's Most Valuable Buck for his consistent output, averaging 20.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 61 percent from the field. Day also highlights Kyle Kuzma's defensive efforts and Tyler Herro's strong scoring run.

Conversely, Day criticizes Myles Turner as a primary "sinner," citing his struggles that include 7.7 points per game, poor shooting, and high turnovers. Day notes that Milwaukee has struggled late in games under head coach Taylor Jenkins, getting outscored 98-73 across fourth quarters, while suggesting Kasparas Jakučionis could see more point guard minutes over Ryan Rollins.
