(We’re not quite done with Ray Allen just yet. We announced him as our top Milwaukee Bucks player of the past 20 years on Tuesday. Today, Josh Hilgendorf has his own take on Ray Allen. And we have more Ray Allen lined up for later this week. – JS) Choosing the top 20 Bucks’ players [...]
(We’re counting down the best 20 Bucks since 1991 over the next few weeks. It’s something to do with the lockout sucking the life out of NBA fans. We continue with number 8. Tim Thomas. Thomas is that rare player who perennially underachieved, but got better in the playoffs. In the sense that he didn’t care much [...]
(We’re counting down the best 20 Bucks since 1991 over the next few weeks. It’s something to do with the lockout sucking the life out of NBA fans. We continue with number 11. Brandon Jennings. Yes, things are about to get all kinds of recent over here. Finally. No more languishing through the dregs of [...]
(We’re counting down the best 20 Bucks since 1991 over the next few weeks. It’s something to do with the lockout sucking the life out of NBA fans. We continue with number 15. Charlie Villanueva. Often frustrating but occasionally scintillating, Villanueva was an easy scapegoat on poorly constructed teams. But he had some nice moments. – [...]
(We’re counting down the best 20 Bucks since 1991 over the next few weeks. It’s something to do with the lockout sucking the life out of NBA fans. We continue with number 18. TJ Ford, the only Bucks player I’ve ever owned the replica jersey of. – Jeremy) About midway through the 2003-04 NBA season, TJ [...]
Nestled close to the radio in the 50 degree temperature of a Door County evening, I pumped my fist instinctively when it was announced the Milwaukee Bucks selected Jon Leuer with the 40th overall pick in the NBA draft. Camping in Fish Creek, Wis. last week with limited access to Wi-Fi and inconsistent cell coverage, [...]
We have spent several weeks and many words discussing Bucks draft workouts and the team’s needs heading into next Thursday’s NBA Draft. But what about the teams Milwaukee will compete with most often next season? While the other teams in the Central Division had varying degrees of success and failure last season, all of them [...]
If you thought yesterday’s Bucks draft workouts featured a smorgasbord of NBA talent, you will be blown away with today’s lineup. As the week continues, the number of big names brought in by the team continues to decrease. We can only hope the new week brings at least a few lottery-bound players. In the meantime, [...]
While the first day of workouts featured a plethora of guards, Thursday’s edition skewed more toward the forward position. Four of the six players brought in are listed at 6’8’’ or above and generally considered forwards in the NBA. However, I do not think Larry Sanders has much to worry about, as none of the forwards [...]
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 [...]
