I gotta say, I don’t mind the idea of building for the future around a front court of Sanders, Ersan, and Henson. Three good young bigs. If Harris ever taps into his potential, our front court could be great.

Oh, I feel he will be around for years. I guess his deal was done without Skiles consent, nor mine. Somebody knew his character and fortitude in the front office (and I remember our Ted liked him too last season.)

Skiles was affective in giving the team the stink eye. It turned out it was more about something he ate. But I was less than kind too. Ersan is one of those big guys who can put the ball in the rim while under it. That’s good for three buckets minimum, because he makes most of the opportunity.

Thing is he is a shooter, thus the comparison to Dirk.

I have the same question for Jeremy.
Also, is it a rare thing for Monta to
play tough defense or a common thing?
Is Boylan trying to encourage Monta to
up his effort on a more consistent basis?

I’m still not sold on Ersan, but I want
him to do well and am holding out hope. Is this
a guy the Bucks believe in as a big time player
for the next few years? Or should they reconsider
their big contract to him by trading him when he
could be of high value to another team?
I don’t know the answer, just my hunches. A lot
depends on what kind of a person Ersan is, what
kind of teammate, how strong he is mentally, how
dedicated, how he fits in with the Bucks versus
how he might respond to a different team. It’s hard
for a fan to gather all of that. For example: Why
was Ersan so bad earlier this season? Anyhow, I
hope the Bucks find a solution that is good for both
Ersan and the team.

I too take back all the bad things I’ve said about him. He seems focused now: up, down, with the ball, without, cold, warmed up. He got the money, and has responded. With the shot working, he could make ten of them if given half the chance. I thought Dirk would get pushed out before being an impact player too. I wonder if this team could give our “Dirk” that many shots? Ersan, the two speedsters, and Dunleavy each scoring close to 20 adds up to 80 points. Is that enough to get out of mediocrity?

In quoting Boylan on Monta’s defense, Jeremy, are you subscribing to this description, being ironic, or what?
I was at the game, and I found myself remarking how close Monta stuck to Redick…

Agreed, it’s really nice to see Ers play well.

Ersan has been playing out of his mind lately, he’s certainly earning his paycheck nowadays
