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 [...]
When: 7:00 P.M. CT until we’re done partying Where: On the site you’re reading right now. Who: The whole Bucksketball crew, Eric, Ian and occasional insights from Jeremy at the Cousins Center. Plus you, the reader. What: We’re talking about the draft of course. Ian and Eric will be sharing predictions, reactions, gifs and we’ll [...]
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 [...]
From the sound of it, the Milwaukee Bucks will be staying put at number 12 come Thursday’s NBA Draft. It’s difficult to ever rule out a John Hammond trade – the Bucks general manager has made deals around the NBA draft in each season of his reign – but only once has he swapped a [...]
Wednesday was a big day at the Cousins Center, as the workouts began to heat up with three potential first-round picks in attendance. The list was headlined by power forwards Perry Jones III (Baylor), Terrence Jones (Kentucky), and Arnett Moultrie (Mississippi State). Jones III and Jones are very strong candidates to be taken by the [...]
The Bucks held their fifth pre-draft workout on Monday. I’m not saying that the workout was held specifically for him, and I can neither confirm nor deny that there was a beam of light following him all over the court, but this workout was all about North Carolina power forward John Henson. The junior stands [...]
The Bucks brought in a small group of guards for their third team-organized workout Saturday. Though the group size was small, the guards themselves were not, and that was something that the Bucks are actively looking for. Their starting backcourt is undersized to say the least, with Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis standing 6-1 and [...]
The Bucks’ second pre-draft workout consisted of big time considerations for first-round picks, and a much taller crop of players in general. Illinois C Meyers Leonard and North Carolina center Tyler Zeller have been rumored to be in the mix of players that the Bucks’ could wind up selecting with the 12th pick in the [...]
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 [...]
