0:00Kenneth Gainwell, when he's there in
0:01round 10, I think he's a really fun
0:03player. Uh we've heard a couple of the I
0:05think it was Greg Auman for the Bucks
0:07one of the big beat reporters. It was
0:09sort of a throwaway line by him, but I
0:11don't know if it was hyperbole, but he
0:13said he wouldn't be surprised if Kenneth
0:14Gainwell leads the Bucks in catches this
0:16year. I think he's going to be heavily
0:18utilized in the passing game. We know
0:20that there is a chance that Bucky Irving
0:22misses some time because the shoulder
0:24was already bothering him before he
0:25missed time last year, and he's a slider
0:27back. And we know just how effective
0:29Kenneth Gainwell was last year and how
0:31these quarterbacks and offensive
0:33coordinators both seem to sort of
0:35gravitate towards him. Really good pass
0:37blocker, does all the little things.
0:39>> I think the cherry on top for the
0:40Gainwell is there's some murmurs that
0:42Shaun Tucker may actually not make the
0:43team. And if he was to get cut, the
0:46question then becomes is who's getting
0:47these goal line reps? And [music] you
0:49know who didn't get a goal line reps
0:50last year?
0:51Bucky Irving. And so maybe if Shaun
0:54Tucker didn't make the team, that's
0:55actually a boost for Kenneth Gainwell
0:57at getting more that goal line work. So
0:59I love that.
