Jaquez and Kuzma’s lack of shooting has already taught the Bucks a hard lesson

Writer Swoosh Shrestha argues that pairing Kyle Kuzma and Jaime Jaquez Jr. together presents major spacing issues for the Milwaukee Bucks due to their limited outside shooting. Milwaukee struggled offensively during their preseason opener when starting both forwards, shooting just 33 percent from the field as opponents clogged the driving lanes.

In contrast, the Bucks' offense improved significantly in Game 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder with Kuzma sidelined. Shrestha notes that inserting Kel'el Ware alongside Jaquez opened up court spacing, allowing Milwaukee to shoot 46 percent from the field and secure a narrow victory.
