With the 14th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected John Henson. A power forward out of North Carolina, Henson left college after his junior season. He is a two time ACC Defensive Player of the Year renowned for his shot-blocking. In three seasons at UNC, Henson blocked 278 shots. For comparison’s [...]
Not every trade requires celebration or damnation. Some only require the nod of a head and an acknowledgement that the guys in charge are seeing the obvious things. Last year, the Milwaukee Bucks badly needed a center. Their first move this summer? Trade some role players for a probable starter at center. Well done. That’s [...]
We’ve all been had. The Milwaukee Bucks were actively talking trade all along! While it isn’t the roster shakeup we’ve seen the team make in each of the past two seasons, the Bucks have unloaded some fringe rotation players to land a guy who could be at least part of a solution at that pesky [...]
UPDATE: Ignore this post. Bucks traded down. More coming soon. Rumors are flying that the Milwaukee Bucks are attempting to trade up to acquire the moderately raw John Henson in Thursday’s NBA Draft. Gery Woelfel reported as much on Monday. Alex Kennedy followed up with the same report Tuesday. All this despite John Hammond doing [...]

The good folks at the SURG Restaurant Group were kind enough to donate a gift card good at any of their terrific restaurants in Milwaukee to Bucksketball.com. After considering grabbing some food and heading out of town to live a life on the run, I’ve decided to offer up the gift card to the people [...]
Jeremy Lamb or Terrance Ross – my allegiances rest with them. It’s been too long since I’ve seen some athleticism, real legitimate dangerous athleticism, on a wing in Milwaukee. Actually, we got to see that last season with Monta Ellis. Let me correct myself – It’s been too long since I’ve seen a player with [...]
Ho hum, just another Bucks’ workout featuring relatively unknown guards and forwards that could be taken in the second… Wait. Hold on. Is that Baylor forward Quincy Miller’s name I see on that list? It is. Hm, he’s a late first-round projected draft pick in nearly every mock draft. Could the Bucks be considering making [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Brandon Jennings
I’m not sure we’ll ever know what happened with Brandon Jennings in early February last season. Milwaukee’s premiere guard was cruising along through the first third of the lockout shortened 2011-12 season. Despite a road heavy early season schedule, Jennings was producing at a level far better than he had in his first two seasons. [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Monta Ellis
There was a trade in the NBA this weekend. You may have heard. The Oklahoma City Thunder made an expectation defying deal that will undoubtedly either end up a brilliant reminder of how smart you have to be to succeed in a small market or a sobering lesson on why small market teams can’t thrive in today’s [...]
2012 Player Capsules: Samuel Dalembert
“I want the team to be one of the top defensive teams. I’ve been to so many training camps and seen coaches focusing on offense, offense, offense. We came here and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I wanted to hug coach (Scott Skiles). For the first time in seven years, the Milwaukee Bucks starting center isn’t Andrew [...]
2012 Player Capsules: John Henson
From every indication, John Henson is ready to play defense in the NBA. For his sake, I hope that’s true. Because his capability to play defense this year could have quite an impact on his career. Henson is probably going to land on his feet no matter what. He was a very highly regarded high [...]
