Seasoned in his veteran presence and fully aware of role, Taurean Prince, in his first-ever game in the Milwaukee Bucks’ colors, brilliantly teetered the tightrope between maintaining aggressiveness and understanding when to step aside for his superstar teammates. Applying that wording in a most-literal sense, the eighth-year forward readies himself for the very-likely possibility of a drive-and-kick sequence alongside his 75th Anniversary Team floor general, finding both the ball — and Caleb Martin’s closeout — arriving with heat. Cool and controlled, Prince merely offers a practice-like pump fake and sidestep combination before cashing a right-corner trey, his fourth in a long-range avalanche. Prince, among the season’s hottest 3-point shooters to kickstart the 2024-25 campaign, reaped rewards through 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and near-perfect shooting from the field (six-of-seven) and from deep (four-of-five). Just as unmissable, the Bucks turned in a memorable season-opening road win over the Philadelphia 76ers on October 23, 2024. · Oct 23, 2024
