In this week’s Tuesday Tracker and our SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked you about tanking for a higher draft choice versus trying to make the postseason, plus solicited a few opinions on the newest Bucks. Here are the highlights:
- Only one in five of our respondents wants the team to shut things down to improve their lottery position, while nearly 70% want Milwaukee to go for the best playoff spot they can get.
- Early impressions of Ousmane Dieng are good, as 89% of voters want the Bucks to retain him this summer as a restricted free agent. A similar 90% would like Dieng to be a full-time starter once Giannis is back from injury.
- 93% of fans polled want Cam Thomas to stick around next year too, and 47% would give him upwards of the $6.1m taxpayer midlevel exception when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in July. 18% would only put forth the smallest non-minimum contract the Bucks can offer, which amounts to a small raise on his current salary with Non-Bird rights.
- Unlike Dieng, 70% feel that Thomas should come off the bench, even when Giannis is healthy.
- Jon Horst’s approval rating continues to rise, as he’s now above 50% for the first time since November 25th.
Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
