Terry Stotts like all coach who coached the Grizzlies, Hawks and Clippers, begins his actual teaching profession this yr, and is doing an amazing job. Magloire and Simmons have been added at the beginning, in addition to rookie Andrew Bogut and T.J Ford’s return. The brand new additions have given Milwaukee new playoff life.

The 11-7 Bucks have an excellent rotation of huge males. Andrew Bogut has carried out nicely sufficient to earn the spot over Joe Smith. Magloire has given them sturdy rebounding depth. That is why the Bucks are main the NBA in rebounding. Bobby Simmons may be very nonchalant; he does not get very many performs known as for him, however he’ll make an out of doors shot or dunk it when he has to.

Milwaukee is main the NBA in 3P%. Michael Redd is doing an excellent job main the workforce. T.J. Ford is not essentially a real PG, however he’s an distinctive shooter. Add that together with his nice quickness and you’ve got a really productive Level Guard. Enjoying time has been down clearly for Maurice Williams, however that hasn’t stopped him. Williams has already hit two recreation successful pictures this yr.

The issue with a younger workforce like this the protection. Giving up 99.7 PPG, they’re twenty sixth within the NBA in Factors allowed. Aside from the Cavaliers (who they performed yesterday) they’re the worst in defending the 3-pointer. At instances it is scorer by committee for Milwaukee. Redd, Williams, Ford and Simmons all alternate as workforce chief, so consistency is an issue. And whereas Magloire and Bogut assist out on the glass, they do not present many factors on the scoreboard.

The division they’re in with Cleveland, Indiana and Detroit goes to be onerous to topple. Contemplating that the seed that the seed they’d be if the postseason began at the moment could be low, they do not have an amazing likelihood for achievement this yr. However they’re on target nonetheless.
