Jon Horst makes another free agency move
It’s been a bit of a quiet free agency for Jon Horst and the Milwaukee Bucks so far. However, after recently signing Delon Wright, it appears that Taurean Prince will be coming to Milwaukee, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania:

The Bucks desperately needed wing help and they just got some assistance. Prince boasts a shooting percentage of over 37% from the perimeter for his career. Last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he averaged just a tick under nine points per game at 8.9. This is solid depth addition for Milwaukee.
Additionally, he’s just 30 years-old. There isn’t a stand-out portion to his game, but his defensive intensity is going to be relied on heavily by Doc Rivers and Milwaukee’s coaching staff. Remember, Darvin Ham, who Prince played under out in Los Angeles, is now Doc’s lead assistant on the bench.
Additionally, you have to tip the cap to Jon Horst. This is a versatile signing. Who knows where things will end up or if there’ll be more moves made by Milwaukee in the coming days, but this is a welcomed improvement to their roster.
Last but certainly not least, a throwback to Prince’s presser after Yale knocked out Baylor in the 2016 NCAA Tournament:
