The Bucks hold their new coach, a few weeks following the announcement of the departure of Mike Budenholzer. A few details to settle all the same, we are talking regarding biffetons eh, and the former NBAer converted assistant will therefore know his first position as head coach.
Giannis Antetokounmpo therefore has his new boss, the one who will instruct him to go straight ahead, this one is for Bucks fans. Two years following leading the Bucks to their second ring, Mike Budenholzer has been asked to pack his bags elsewhere, and among a few household names (Kenny Atkinson, Nick Nurse…) it is therefore (former) Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin who would have been chosen by the Wisconsin franchise, according to the always very square information of TPMP Shams Sharania :

Who is Adrian Griffin? The father of rookie AJ, already, the very one who slammed two game winners with the Hawks at the start of the season. In the field, a role player in the 2000s, 4 pawns on average between Boston, Dallas, Houston and Chicago. On the bench ? Milwaukee from 2008 to 2010, already, then Orlando, Chicago and the Thunder, before jumping to Canada and becoming NBA champion in the process as assistant to Nick Nursethis participating in making him a pretty nice little reputation in the middle.
Giannis and the Bucks have therefore found their new druid, who will have to relaunch a machine seen as a real steamroller a few weeks ago, but who was especially compressed by Jimmy Butler in the first round of the Playoffs. A little new blood as they say in the hospital environmentet a man who will therefore have everything to prove with a group that has no choice but to win. A bit of pressure there, no?
