JOB3 played in his first professional basketball with the Bucks Summer League squad versus the Cavs.

He played off the bench, got 12 minutes of playing time. He scored 8 pts off 4/7 shooting, grabbed 3 rebounds, and had 1 assist. He had 1 foul and no turnovers.

Looking at some of the recap articles, people have been mostly surprised at his performance. Did well in limited time.

Box Score

Nice to see just 1 foul, some big guys rack up like 6 or 7

I'm pulling hard for JOB3. He's a good kid and easy to pull for.

Probably the first time he hasn't been double-teamed every time he touched the ball since his freshman year here.

That 10 to 15 foot jumper (that some people around here hated to see) will pay huge dividends for Johnny as a professional. He definitely looked like he belonged on the floor last night. Hopefully, he'll get a few more minutes Sunday night versus the Suns.

JOB is one of those players who can have a successful journeyman career like glen Davis and Brandon bass. I really think he's going to be successful. For 3 years he was pretty much our only offensive threat so his game didn't stand out as much as other college players. Now with talent all over the court, I think he will excel.

8th on the team in minutes played but 3rd in production. Not bad at all.

Doesn't really matter. There are a ton of fouls in Summer League, so much where they give each 8 (!) before fouling out.

JOB III starting at center tonight

Going up against Mason Plumlee, which is honestly a mismatch for JOB III. Plumlee is a true center at 6'11 255.

He's gotten pushed around a bit but he does have 2 rebounds.

Yeah, he's touched the ball a grand total of once on offense and missed a 15 footer in isolation
