That makes sense, sure. Maggette has been a boost for free throws and attacking the basket, a huge team problem from last year. But the defense just isn’t following. I found myself defending the trade to a few people when the Bucks made it, thinking his defense could use a coach like Skiles. Hopefully it’s just a matter of needing more time in said system.

The luxury of starting Maggette is having Bogut behind him to clean up any mistakes he may make. The defense wasn’t great against New Jersey, but was capable against the Rockets (offensive rebounds allowed aside). I think the system is outweighing the individual on defense, whereas on offense, the individual is outweighing the system.

If any of that makes sense.

Now with so many injuries and inconsistencies, Skiles has offensive options beyond Maggette, and has to hope that the defense can work around him.
