” He also called him “the top commodity in the NBA coaching market. ” “Whether you’re trying to compete now or contend for the future, Jenkins has shown,” said Charania, that he can adapt to be any type of coach a team needs. This is crucial, as the Bucks could go either way this summer, depending on what happens with two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The superstar has had one foot in and one foot out of Milwaukee for the better part of the last two seasons now, and many feel he could finally be dealt this summer. They certainly took calls at the trade deadline. Can Taylor Jenkins convince Giannis to stay in Milwaukee?
