Interviewing Bucks rookies AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith

Milwaukee Bucks rookies AJ Johnson and Tyler Smith both played in the Wisconsin Herd's loss to the Motor City Cruise on Wednesday night in Oshkosh, and after the game Gyro Step host Ti Windisch caught up with them for interviews about their rookie seasons thus far.

Johnson spoke on the importance of reps following his time in Australia where he didn't get to play much, how he's working on sharpening the tool that is his speed with the ball, his excitement for the Bucks winning the NBA Cup, and more.

Smith talked about shooting the ball with confidence and tweaking his shot form to have more success there, the time Doc Rivers challenged a called foul on him that was actually a block, the difference in playing for the Bucks/Herd vs the G League Ignite team and his new approach, and if he feels like he's more of a forward or center long-term.
