Seeing that his rapid rise as a professional has now brought him to the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason, two-way player Jaylen Morris is simply looking to make his mark at his current NBA home.
There’s no question the arrival of new Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and his coaching staff — which includes Josh Longstaff, who served as Morris’ head coach during his time with the Erie Bayhawks last season — weighed heavily in Morris’ signing with the organization in late last month.
But despite the two-way player status he carries, which allows him to be with the parent club for up to 45 days throughout the span of the G League season, Morris is far from guaranteed to see minutes when up with the Bucks.
