Brandon and Monta should both be Top 40..Monta maybe Top 30, Im anxious to see if Jennings is ranked higher than Tyreke Evans and lil Dell. Curry is probably best of the 3 but the fact that his ankles are made of glass should lower his standing beneath the other two gems of that class
Yet another reason why I believe Brandon Jennings should be given an extension he's a charitable guy and that always is good for team image
Jellis...that's awesome i love it!...or Bronta? Either way I agree those two are going to be electric. Im also interested to see what Ers does to earn his paycheck. Small forward will be interesting. But I too am very excited, I think this is the year Jennings makes the All Star team. Should be a fun season
@flyingking seriously, stop trolling
For veteran minimum this is a great signing. Bucks still have Full MLE to go after Pietrus who they were in talks with, Meeks is an option too but i'd much rather have Pietrus since I think Lamb could surpass Meeks
"The Bucks...Support us or we will have to relocate"
Tobias can score and bang the boards a bit. But until he can prove that he has the lateral quickness to defend NBA Small Forwards on a regular basis I think LRMAM has to start at the 3. The starting lineup of Jennings, Ellis, LRMAM, Ersan, Dalembert can score enough points between the guards and the front court crashing the boards.
The 2nd Unit looks even more intriguing having Harris, and Dunleavy (maybe even Lamb) for instant offense. Udrih's steady play at PG and some combination of Gooden, Henson, Udoh on the boards and anchoring the defense.
I am biased but i like all of those players and think they can all contribute in a positive way on the court and if Skiles can find the right rotations and the players fulfill the roles they are paid to do, this might be a decent team after all. Not by any means a championship team, but competitive and worth watching every night without wanting to gauge out ur own eyes.
I personally am okay with mediocrity in the sense of the Hawks, Pacers, Sixers, etc. At least they have something...NBA is probably going to end up contracting with all these "superfriend" teams in the next decade. I would rather see the Bucks still be a franchise and be mediocre than see them blow it up and be gone b4 they get a chance to really rebuild. Right now the Bucks are probably one of the most likely teams to be gone if contraction were to occur
Here is a fun fact. This is the 28th consecutive year the Bucks season opener has began on the road
I remember a few years ago there was interest in Rush while he was on the Pacers, Skiles really likes his style of play, so I would like to see him as an addition. AK47 is not in our price range, but would have loved to have him on the team. He's either gonna be a Net or stay in Europe
Im hoping Henson can get at least 12-15 minutes a game this year. That's going to be even more difficult if Przybilla or O' Neal come to town tho
@JustinNixon yea u are right, I like the way he attacks and bullies to the hoop which reminds me of Maggs a bit, has great hands too. I hope he can devlop a good consistent outside shot and (or) have the lateral quickness to stay in front of NBA swingmen. He seems like a good person and a really hard worker, nice to see guys like that rewarded with PT
Anybody else think that Tobias Harris resembles a young Maggette with his style of play?
@JustinNixon this is true, I suppose right now there are about 12-16 minutes a game free for the 2 guard, and I'd rather see Lamb out there than Dunleavy trying to guard athletic Shooting Guards

I remember hearing last year at one point that Larry was among the league leaders in fouls per minute. Not surprising when I looked up that he averages 7.3 fouls per 36 minutes. I am really hoping Larry can turn it around and make a good showing for himself so a team is dumb enough to want to trade for him, I fear that is only a pipe dream though.
Doran Lamb looked very good but i think he is still a year away from seeing any significant playing time on this current roster.
Harris is the player I will be keeping a close eye on. If Tobias Harris can hit the corner jumper, provide some 3 point shooting and show good lateral quickness on defense, I think he can start at the 3 over LRMAM unless the prince has finally learned to shoot which I highly doubt.
Butch went to my high school so ive been a big fan of his for years unfortunately for him he is caught up in the Bucks PF logjam and wont get a chance to truly showcase his talent, if he makes his way to the NBA this season it's going to have to be through the D-League again. I Wish him the best of luck he's a good guy who's been hit by the injury bug like a ton of bricks throughout his basketball career. Hard to believe he was once the 9th best player in the country coming out of high school
@JustinNixon that is pretty funny, they're having basically the same conversations we all are on here
