In this week’s fan pulse survey, Bucks enthusiasts shared their thoughts on some key team decisions. Let's dive into the highlights.
First up, Pete Nance's two-way contract is a hot topic. A solid 77% of fans are eager to see Nance converted to a standard deal. If that happens, 57% believe that Andre Jackson Jr. should be the one to make way on the 15-man roster.
Turning to playoff prospects, optimism is cautiously brewing. A significant 84% of voters think Milwaukee will claw their way into the play-in tournament. However, 66% of those fans predict they’ll land no higher than the 9th spot, meaning they’ll need to win two games to secure a playoff berth.
Missing the playoffs would mean a lottery pick in June’s draft, and 60% of fans are in favor of keeping that pick, regardless of its position. Among those who would consider trading it, 65% are open to dealing if the pick falls outside the top ten-a realistic scenario given the Bucks' current standings and a 15.9% chance of drafting better than tenth due to a pick swap with the Pelicans.
Finally, fans are noticing Milwaukee's improved performance. Coupled with strategic tanking by teams like Chicago, Memphis, and Dallas, there's a sense that the Bucks won't slip lower than their current 10th spot in the lottery standings.
