Path to steady Brayden Burries, Nate Ament opportunities starts on defense

Milwaukee Bucks rookies Brayden Burries and Nate Ament must prove themselves on defense to earn regular playing time, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. Speaking after practice, Jenkins emphasized that both players will be held to a high defensive standard as they fight for spots in a competitive rotation.

Behind the Buck Pass notes that Burries brings a strong collegiate defensive background, while the 6-foot-10 Ament possesses great length but remains raw physically. The writer argues that training camp and the upcoming preseason will serve as crucial opportunities for both rookies to earn rotation roles.
