In Milwaukee's 125-104 preseason loss to Chicago on Oct. 14, Kasparas Jakučionis picked up four fouls before the break and spent most of the first half on the bench.

The second-year guard finished with 18 points, six assists and a steal in 20 minutes. He was 3-of-8 from the field and perfect on 11 free throws.

'I would say it wasn't the smartest move from me. But I'm an aggressive player,' Jakučionis said of the early fouls, including one Taylor Jenkins said came 94 feet from the basket.

He opened the second half with a three-point play, stole a Josh Giddey pass, then set up Ousmane Dieng and Kam Jones for threes late in the quarter.

'I'll definitely not be passive now, just because I got some fouls,' he said. 'I'll do the same, just be a little bit smarter.'
