I’ve watched Mike workout for the last three months. His shot is almost perfect. He will have his best season ever with the Bucks. His heath is great and for the first time in his career he is injury free. In my humble opinion he will average 17 points a game. The Bucks got a real sleeper. Watch and enjoy Mike D. light it up for the Bucks.

@Ted

I could see it in some niche lineups or situations, like when they’re facing the other teams small lineup or if the other team’s PF is offensively challenged. I just hope Dunleavy’s injury problems are behind him for the most part. I am not looking forward to an injury-riddled season like last year.

And regarding Hammonds plans with the roster, he’s nicknamed Trader John for a reason…

[...] the point guard log jam appears solved, Milwaukee will still have a decision to make now that Mike Dunleavy Jr. is reportedly in the mix. Stephen Jackson, Carlos Delfino, Dunleavy, Harris and Hobson [...]

@Justin Dunleavy at PF? idk man Dunleavy is already a bit of a defensive liability so havin him at PF would put even more pressure on Bogut to defend the paint and crash the boards. Maybe as a late game desperation 3 point lineup but I dont think Skiles would ever put him in that position. I could easily be wrong tho

If we can put him at PF against small lineups we could light it up

@Ted As you've made clear, there are certainly a number of questions that surround the team as presently constructed. I think things will be a lot more clear by Monday. The biggest immediate areas that appear to need addressing are Mbah a Moute's situation and the backup C position. If they don't sign a backup C, they'll probably stick with the Brockman/Gooden/Ilyasova/Sanders quartet back there. As far as a trade goes, Woelfel just tweeted something about Keyon Dooling possibly being on the way out. Also, we don't know the cap just yet, but I believe the Bucks will have some room to sign Mbah a Moute, even with the addition of Dunleavy.

Do you think Hammond is going to make a trade of some sort too? It just seems like now they’re a bit too jammed up at SF and PG. And does this mean LRMAM is out? Or can they go over the cap without penalty because of Bird Rights?

Does this mean Drew Gooden and Larry Sanders are going to be playing backup Center in addition to time at PF? Who’s starting at the 3 Delfino or Dunleavy or Harris?

I feel like Hammond isn’t the GM that normally would want to have all these questions that need to be answered. I know it’s a short off-season but I just am not really sure where he’s trying to go with this lineup right now, and that is un Hammond-esque in my opinion.

Sorry for the rant
