We’ve talked before about the Milwaukee Bucks and the glut of four and fives that developed this off-season. It was a popular conversation after Samuel Dalembert arrived via trade, after John Henson was drafted and most of all after Ersan Ilyasova resigned. By the time the off-season ended Sunday, Milwaukee was up to seven guys [...]
2008-09: Average defense, below average offense. 2009-10: Great defense, below average offense (For half the year, but a good offense in the second half.
