The Story in 60 Seconds

Dalton Sell of Behind the Buck Pass argues that Milwaukee Bucks rookie Kasparas Jakucionis could help revitalize Ryan Rollins' offensive game. Rollins has endured a difficult start to the season, averaging 11.2 points while shooting 34.2 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from deep, partly missing the playmaking presence previously provided by former teammate Kevin Porter Jr.

The writer notes that Jakucionis ranks second on the team in passes made despite placing sixth in playing time. Although Rollins and Jakucionis have shared the court for only 25 minutes so far, Sell contends head coach Taylor Jenkins should increase their shared rotation minutes to help improve Milwaukee's offensive output.
