Sunday, the Milwaukee Bucks wrapped up their tour of duty in Vegas and came back to Milwaukee with a stellar 4-1 record to show for it. While the NBA Summer League means nothing, there were things to be learned about the Bucks, their prospects and projects. There was some stellar play out in the Mojave. [...]
DJ Mbenga is an NBA champion. The eight year veteran spent 4 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, and two of the four seasons culminated in a NBA title. Sure, Mbenga put up a total of 7 points throughout both championship runs for the Lakers, but there’s something to be said for being there. Mbenga is a [...]
The Milwaukee Bucks’ second Summer League game ended in a 75-78 defeat at the hand of the Washington Wizards, but there were still a lot of positives to take away from the loss. Tobias Harris showed elite offensive skills at times, finishing with 24 points (10 of 20) and 12 rebounds, and, in his professional [...]
It’s CONTEST TIME. Guess D.J. Mbenga’s minutes, down to the second, in the Bucks next summer league game on Wednesday and you could win a t-shirt from Million Dollar Ballers. Leave a comment in the comment section with exactly how many minutes and seconds you think D.J. Mbenga will play in Milwaukee’s next game against [...]
Two years ago, I watched Larry Sanders carve up defenses with a smooth looking jump shot, wreak havoc with his shot-blocking and even make a clutch 3-pointer to keep the Milwaukee Bucks in a game. As soon as the actual regular season started, I learned I’d have to temper my future expectations and projections based [...]
The Bucks opened up their Summer League schedule with a victory, defeating the (Anthony Davis-less) New Orleans Hornets 76-68. The Bucks were led by rookie Doron Lamb (20p/4r), current roster member Tobias Harris (19p) and relative unknown Jarrid Famous (13p/11r). So yeah, basically who you thought was going to star, right? Both Lamb and Harris [...]

At some point this season, Larry Sanders and Tiny Gallon are going to look like they were put on this Earth to play basketball in the NBA. Times will be good. At some point this season, they’ll be glued to the bench, saddled with foul trouble or fighting inconsistency. Times will be bad. Even 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 [...]
