Coach JET

Okay, okay, I know I should probably be focusing on the prospect of Giannis’ practice performances translating to him being a much improved three-point shooter soon, but who doesn’t love a good JET quote?

Jason Terry‘s voice has been a breath of fresh air for the Bucks this season, both on the court and in the media.

Terry’s game may not be what it once was, but there’s no more visible or vocal supporter of Milwaukee’s young stars than JET. Whether it’s cheerleading from the bench or hyping up Giannis and Jabari Parker in the media, Terry’s influence has seemed largely positive so far.

So, who wouldn’t like to see Terry around in some capacity longer term?

"He shoots along the arc with Sweeney. Rookie Thon Maker mops the floor. Antetokounmpo’s three-point percentage, 29.3 this season, right around his career mark, is still the source of much consternation. Judging by his practice sessions, it will spike soon, and then there won’t be any way left to defend him. “When I’m coaching,” muses the 39-year-old Terry, “he’ll be pretty much unguardable.”"

Although that “when I’m coaching” could just be some of Terry’s trademark wit, if Kidd remains the coach in Milwaukee as he is contracted to do for the foreseeable future, there’s a real chance Terry could start out his assistant coaching career in Milwaukee under the tutelage of his friend and former teammate.
