Much has been made about how to attack this drop coverage the Bucks, some think it's an effort thing by Dre lol.

So here, Luke does what @Joe_Truck suggests instead of a floater. He attacks the dropper, which if he misses, allows the GOAT rebounder for an easy clean up.
Here, what exactly are you expecting Dre to do? Bounce passing him the ball like this against drop coverage is NOT the move.
Lopez isn't good at moving his feet, but the Bucks scheme allows him to stand at rim and wait. This is setting up for failure.
THIS is what you do. You MUST force Lopez to contest the ball-handler, cannot allow him to stand at the rim.
You have the greatest rebounder ever, once you get Lopez to commit Drummond is getting a tip shot easy
Again, the same thing here. Lopez is not a great defender, but he's good when he only has to worry about standing at the rim and using his height/length to block shots. Once you get him moving, Dre will be open.

You just HAVE to get him to commit to something.
This one was okay. I think Dre was fouled here, but it's fine to expect him to finish here and he didn't.

But, again. This is the idea, get the dropper to commit.
Yeah, no Luke. Throwing it to Dre here without causing any kind of commitment from anyone is once again sizing up for failure.

Luke could've easily taken more a couple more dribbles to the rim and forced Lopez to pay ANY attention to him.
