Various reports have the Milwaukee Bucks are pretty serious about keeping Ersan Ilyasova and the previously quiet market for the free agent getting pretty active. Wednesday morning, Gery Woelfel tweeted that the Bucks had offered their power forward a five-year deal. Wednesday afternoon, Adrian Wojnarowski followed up, confirming that the Bucks had offered Ilyasova a [...]
With the 14th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected John Henson. A power forward out of North Carolina, Henson left college after his junior season. He is a two time ACC Defensive Player of the Year renowned for his shot-blocking. In three seasons at UNC, Henson blocked 278 shots. For comparison’s [...]
To hear the Milwaukee Bucks tell it, or to watch them react to it, they weren’t all that concerned about the center position last season. Or the season before for that matter. Hopes were pinned to Andrew Bogut before each season began, despite his injury history and rehabilitation from his infamous elbow injury. Two seasons [...]
Decisions have been rolling in lately. Scott Skiles will be the Bucks coach. John Hammond will (probably) be the GM. And Herb Kohl will build the Bucks a new stadium with his own money and bare hands. Or something along those lines. The Milwaukee Bucks roster though, will be in a state of flux over [...]
Watching Stephen Jackson thrive off the bench for the San Antonio Spurs yesterday was neither super enjoyable for me nor surprising. I can only assume John Hammond felt the same way. The Spurs brought Jackson in to be an extra lift. To give the bench some more life. He isn’t getting top billing, he’s just [...]
Milwaukee Bucks 112 Final Recap | Box Score 121 Washington Wizards Ersan Ilyasova, PF 32 MIN | 3-9 FG | 7-8 FT | 11 REB | 1 AST | 14 PTS | -7 He had some help on the glass for once, but Ilyasova so often seems forgotten while Milwaukee’s guards and Drew Gooden all [...]
Andrew Bogut played in 65 games last season, but in the other 17 Milwaukee cobbled together starting lineups that included Jon Brockman, Larry Sanders or Drew Gooden in the center position. Since Bogut’s injury and then eventual trade, Gooden’s assumed the majority of the center minutes this season. When he’s been out, Milwaukee’s been forced [...]
Indiana Pacers 105 Final Recap | Box Score 99 Milwaukee Bucks Ersan Ilyasova, PF 21 MIN | 4-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 4 REB | 0 AST | 11 PTS | +4 His minutes have been a bit limited lately, seemingly due to some match-up issues. But at what point do match-ups become less [...]
New York Knicks 111 Final Recap | Box Score 107 Milwaukee Bucks Carlos Delfino, SF 22 MIN | 1-3 FG | 0-1 FT | 4 REB | 1 AST | 2 PTS | -17 If there’s one thing Delfino has always done well as a Buck, it’s get inside Carmelo Anthony’s head. For whatever reason, [...]
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 [...]
