Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins hopes Tyler Herro, out sick Oct. 13, is back Oct. 14. Nate Ament is moving more in the half court but still "constrained" — "positive progress," Jenkins said. AJ Green's knee, hurt against Minnesota, "feels good"; he's in knee pads and "good to go."
Tyler Herro is settling into the ball-handling role Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins wants for him: "My best years I've had were on the ball, but I can do a little bit of both." He expects to be ready by the end of camp and says drawing opponents' best defenders will free up teammates.
"I don't want Tyler just to be a guy that's playing off the ball." Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins will put Tyler Herro in more situations handling pressure. With a guard-heavy roster, he will test lineups through preseason before deciding on opening night.
