The Milwaukee Bucks' main purpose behind their moves this offseason was to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo satisfied. The superstar forward was contemplating leaving the organization.
This was because the Bucks have failed to stay relevant in the postseason and continue to pursue championships. Milwaukee's front office made some big splashes this offseason in hopes of getting back on track in winning their first playoff series since 2022.
Milwaukee signed longtime Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, added free agent Amir Coffey in a training camp deal, and brought back Giannis' younger brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo.
Andre Jackson Jr. could be losing his spot on the Bucks' roster
Adding new players calls for others losing their spot, and in this case, it could be 2023 second-round pick Andre Jackson Jr. Thanasis Antetokounmpo's return filled the Bucks' 15th roster spot, leaving Jackson Jr. and Amir Coffey, who signed a camp deal, to fight for their position on the team.
Other moves are set to take place for the Bucks to bring in another player, but FanSided's Dalton Sell believes Milwaukee is leaning towards bringing in Amir Coffey over Andre Jackson Jr.
"Heading into camp, it feels like Coffey has the edge over Jackson if the Milwaukee Bucks plan to clear another roster spot. Not only is he the more experienced player, but his lethal perimeter shot makes him a perfect fit on this team," Sell wrote in an article.
After Milwaukee signed Amir Coffey to a camp deal, it only makes sense that they are interested in committing to him rather than letting him go. His experience mixed with production has been better than Jackson Jr.'s in their respective careers.
Not just this, but head coach Doc Rivers seemed to lose trust in Jackson Jr. late last season. This sparked the Bucks to go out and trade for Kyle Kuzma and completely drain the 2023 pick's minutes in the rotation.
A lot of questions are still left unanswered with the regular season starting next month. It will be interesting to see what takes place for the Bucks moving forward.
