Man, do they suck or what, the back court chucker bros brick shots after shots, Bell shots 12%, WUT? Bogut is averaging only 11,9pts pretty bad for a No.1. It must be hard for a Bucks fan if they have any fans left... Man no wonder my man Yi didnt want to go there, I hope he opt out after the rookie contract.
Bogut's been a 50+% FG shooter for them and their most efficient scorer but isn't even the third option on offense. He does defer too much. His situation is similiar to Yao's rookie year except it's been going on for three seasons now.
THe O should go thru Yi, and Bogut can be defensive big guy. Trade the chucker bros for a good pg and defensive sg, and let Villanueva develop with along with Yi and Bogut, they can be good in two years
They're soft. Bogut sucks. Bobby Simmons has one of the worst contracts in the NBA. Redd is one of those "complementary stars" making legitimate #1 option money. Mo Williams is a talented player that is probably available. At $7-9 million a year that's not bad value for a guy that can score in bunches, shoots well and can adequetely run an offense. The catches are his brain farts and defensive lapses. He gambles and tries to do too much on both ends. He also doesn't get to the line much. All the same I suppose he's worth a look. But yeah, that team is a mess.....
Bogut's been known to be a pretty good passer in his college years. Yi, while being surprisingly good, still has a lot to learn. They should try it out and if it doesn't work, keep on chucking I guess.
The Bucks are soft and have a poorly constructed roster. Their starting backcourt averages 30 shots per game. They need to blow up that team by dumping Charlie Bell and Villanueva and bringing in players that compliment Redd, Bogut and Yi.
When asked to name all the teams in the league by memory, the Bucks are the team you're most likely to forget. They've been a complete after-thought for so long, now.
It's still a mystery to me why Terry Stotts, who took the Bucks to playoff in his 1st season, got fired in his 2nd season when injuries hit hard on the Bucks. This Larry K gets no clues.
From what I've observed Bogut's offense is limited by his foul-proneness on both ends-- he just can't stay active on the floor for too long and get into a rhythm. His outside game wasn't what it was cracked up to be at Utah, but the dude can score. Villanueva, Yi, Bogut and Gadzuric are great frontcourt players. What they need to do is trade their excess talent for a second star.
Villanueva is soft. He basically embodies who the Bucks are: a bunch of jumpshooters. It's sad that their only real inside presence is Bogut, who isn't really all that he's cracked out to be. Yi is wasting his time there IMO. Their problems go deeper than getting a second star. Maurice Williams can play. He reminds me a lot of a younger Mike Bibby. But guys like that probably aren't really suited to run an offense. Their best passer's probably Bogut, and that's saying a lot.
Shouldn't Yi be their first option? Or are they just using him to compliment Redd and Mo's need to shoot 100 times per game.
I think they really miss TJ Ford. Even with Ford's career ending injury, they got owned in that trade. That team needs some dribble penetration since they are a bunch of jumpshooters.
they got a good frontcourt in bogut and yi, and a backcourt CURRENTLY better than the frontcourt... but to me, they first have to fire that coach and try to hire skiles or JVG, then get rid of redd or mo.williams, then they can develop that frontcourt
The Bucks have talent. They just don't complement each other. Their offense consists of jumpshots after jumpshots. And their defense is non-existent.
Jason Williams has missed their last 4 games. Ideal time to offload Mike James's contract while they're even more desperate than ever.
