The Milwaukee Bucks have dramatically improved their performance after a rocky start to the 2024-25 season, with stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard leading the charge. Their chemistry is evident, but the same cannot be said for the team's rookie class, which has struggled to adapt to the NBA.

According to Grant Hughes from Bleacher Report, the Bucks' rookies received a disappointing 'D' grade. AJ Johnson, the 23rd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, has had limited success, averaging just 1.4 points in five games. The other rookies, Tyler Smith and Liam Robbins, have also seen minimal court time, contributing to the team's overall challenges.
