If Warrick and Mbah a Moute can be adequate offensively, I like having the two of them out there at the end of the game to defend the perimeter. They’re long and active, and will be crucial in doubling when larger guys take Jennings to the post.

And Jennings is one of the nicest passers I’ve seen, especially for his age. Every pass is crisp, and usually its in the shooting pocket.

If Redd could remember how good of a shooter he was in his first three years and start doing that again he’d be the perfect compliment to Jennings. Someone suggested to me that his slingshot release does not get better with age though. Interesting thought.

When Ersan shoots with confidence he looks terrific and spaces the floor well. I’m already thinking he’ll be able to do everything that Chuck V. did.

Besides Brandon Jennings making me forget Ramon Sessions, the thing I’m most excited about is Ersan being back. Unfortunately, I think he has eliminated the step-back three from his set of moves and replaced it with an up fake followed by him tripping on his own feet. Between him and Warrick, it’s a toss-up on who has the most clumsy footwork. It’ll be interesting to see how Redd plays and if he can draw interest from teams regardless of his ridiculous salary.

I,m really hoping that the reason Redd and Bogut have been so bad is the long layoff, plus the back-to-back games. Because neither has looked good so far. But I guess it’s a good sign that the Bucks actually managed to win this one anyway. And Warrick needs to play like that all year, the Bucks need that kind of aggressiveness in a major way.

He hit two floaters in the paint today. That’s the shot that’s really going to be key for him. Hitting the three point shot is more like icing on the cake. But the floater is like the sugar in the cake, he needs it. More often than not he’ll get blocked on layups, but if he can keep guys honest with the floater when he gets by level one defenders, then he’ll really be something.

I’m shocked by how much Jennings has improved over the summer and the preseason. It makes me wonder what they worked on with him over in Europe, if they did at all. During Summer League, he had horrible shot mechanics. He faded away when he didn’t have to, he was always kicking his legs scissor style and he rarely held a follow through, instead just quickly dropping his hands. He also didn’t have the necessary floater that point guards need to have as he would always try to outleap big men around the hoop, rarely succeeding in Europe or in Summer League. He’s fixed or added to his game what was necessary in a very shot amount of time.
