Myles Turner: “I really rock with Taylor (Jenkins), who he is as a person and what he stands for as a coach. The accountability aspects have been unbelievable. He holds everybody to the same standard no matter who the player is, and he just demands our focus and our energy on such a high level every single day. He doesn’t stand for any lackadaisical nonsense, and he came in here and has really been a fun drill sergeant to say the least.”
Myles Turner: “It’s been dope, man. I really rock with Taylor [Jenkins], you know, who he is as a person and what he stands for as a coach. The accountability aspects have been unbelievable, you know. He holds everybody to the same standard, no matter who the player is, and he just demands our focus and our energy on such a high-level every single day. He doesn’t stand for any lackadaisical nonsense. He’s came in here and he’s really been… I’m not going to say a drill sergeant, but you know, he’s been a fun drill sergeant to say the least. But it’s been fun. You know, I think just for me, it’s just about continuing to be a leader, and again, finding ways to impact winning.”
Cameron Ezeir: I fully expect Kyle Kuzma to start tonight in the #Bucks season opener. On Monday, Taylor Jenkins talked about the strides he’d made, especially over the last couple days. Here’s Kuz on how he’s grown this camp. “ I’m just in a great mindset, mentality right now… I think the best is yet to come for me…”
Taylor Jenkins on Nate Ament: “Nothing’s been decided in terms of what his long-range plan is over the course of the season. It’s every development opportunity possible, if that’s in the rotation with the Bucks, if it’s a possibility with the G League. We haven’t even approached that one right now because he’s doing a great job right now. Obviously I thought he was doing a really good job early in camp and preseason, and we’ll figure it out once the hurt gets going with other guys that are on our roster too. But right now I want him thinking about carving out a rotational spot for us.”
Sam Perley: Charles Lee on working with now-Bucks Head Coach Taylor Jenkins in ATL/MIL: "He was the guy I sat next to on the plane my very first year in the NBA (2014-15), and I was always impressed with how organized he was... He had his sorters - there were red, green, this and that."

Heat Central: Tyler Herro Miami Heat related comments in his interview on Sirius XM - Taylor Jenkins camp is the same, if not more intense than Coach Spo - Jokes the Heat aren’t the only team with culture as ‘he was told’ - The Heat held a lockout day at this past deadline because they believed a Giannis deal was done - Pat Riley saw himself in Tyler Herro - Tyler was pushing for the trade to get done as well because he wanted a new start
Taylor Jenkins: “Special relationship with TJ. He’s built to be in this environment. He’s built to coach. He’s built to give back. I felt that even when he was at the tail end of his amazing playing career, even though it was cut short. Credit to him. He immediately was like, ‘I want to test out this coaching thing right away.’ He could have chosen other things, but he was like, ‘I want to learn what it means to be a coach. I want to get the inner workings of that.’
Jim Owczarski: Tyler Herro is up next: Doesn't feel like he or the other ex-Heat are here to "replace" Giannis Antetokounmpo but be something new. Referenced the strong culture he came from in Miami in being excited about what Taylor Jenkins is trying to build in Milwaukee.

Sirius XM NBA Radio: “No comment” Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins was asked about the reported physical altercation between former teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro
In the offseason, the Bucks replaced coach Doc Rivers with Taylor Jenkins. Yet Horst denied feeling any pressure that the team was forced to trade Antetokounmpo this summer. "This was not a 'have to,'" Horst said. "This was, we truly believed we've found an opportunity which is unique. We might be right. We might be wrong. But an opportunity where this is what's best for him and what he wants to pursue going forward, and this is what's best for us and what we want to pursue going forward. And that's why we made the decision.”
THE BUCKS WERE pressing up against the deadline co-owner Jimmy Haslam had set a month earlier. During a news conference to introduce new coach Taylor Jenkins and sitting alongside Horst, Haslam had made a declaration: The Bucks would have Antetokounmpo's future settled by draft night. Either he would agree to sign an extension to remain with Milwaukee -- or he'd be traded. But by then, the Bucks had their answer, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say. Antetokounmpo was not going to sign another extension in Milwaukee.
