Bucks' move to hire Taylor Jenkins gets social media praise
Many Bucks followers see the hiring of Jenkins as another way to convince Giannis to remain with the franchise.
The Milwaukee Bucks haven't had a lot of positive narratives lately. The front office parted ways with head coach Doc Rivers, Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the franchise remains in question and the team missed the playoffs for the first time after nine straight postseason appearances. But with Taylor Jenkins about to become the Bucks' next coach, there are more good vibes from the the Bucks fan base throughout cyberspace.
Before taking his first head coaching job with the Memphis Grizzlies, Jenkins was an assistant under Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer during the 2018-19 season. Both were also together when Budenholzer were in Atlanta. The Bucks went 60-22 in Jenkins' one season in Milwaukee and the team reached the Eastern Conference finals.
Antetokounmpo averaged 27. 7 points, 12. 5 rebounds and 5.
9 assists a game that season. Due to Jenkins' connection with the organization, many Bucks and NBA fans support the hire, believing it's a signal that the Bucks are still making strong efforts to keep Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee. It appears Jenkins was the No.
