MILWAUKEE — It’s not quite new-kid-at-school vibes but it was definitely an unfamiliarity for Damian Lillard in his opening days as a Milwaukee Buck.
His former Portland head coach, Terry Stotts, is on the staff, and when you’ve been in the league as long as Lillard has, the verbiage and calls blend in a bit.
The dirty little secret about the NBA? There are no secrets anymore, if there ever were. Everyone knows what everyone does. The scouting is sophisticated and like any other sport, it’s a copycat league.
“It’s not a lot I haven’t seen as far as basketball,” Lillard said Wednesday.
