Adrew Bogut will slide back to the center position after starting last season at power forward. Bogut is a more natural player at center and he has good NBA skills for the position. Bogut averaged 9.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game as a rookie.
Dan Gazduric will be the back-up for the Bucks. Gazduric has averaged 5.6 points, 5.2 assists and 1.1 blocks per game over his career. Dan is a good back-up center that brings alot of energy to the court every night.
Ruben Patterson will be the starter for at least the first month of the season while Bobby Simmons recovers from an inury. Patterson is a good shooter that has hit 51.2% of his FGs over his career. Patterson has been a back-up for most of his career as he has averaged only 23.9 minutes per game. He has averaged 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game over his career. Patterson should be a good contributor for the Bucks.
Bobby Simmons will be the starter when he returns to the active roster. The Bucks expected more from him than what they got which was 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season. Simmons had been a back-up until two seasons ago when he had the best year of his career. Simmons is a good 3-point shooter (40.7% for career) that stretches the defense. Bobby has averaged 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game over his career.
Rookie second round pick David Noel of North Carolina will have a shot to get some playing time because he’s a good defender that can hit the open jump shot.
The Bucks were flying high after three quarters with a 85-76 lead, but the Wizards out-scored them 40-26 in the 4th quarter and the Bucks lost. Michael Redd did his part with 28 points, 3 rebounds & 6 assists. Charlie Villanueva was solid with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Andrew Bogut (15 points, 5 rebounds) & Dan Gazduric (15 points & 8 rebounds) gave the Bucks a huge advantage at center over the Wizards. PG Maurice Williams scored 12 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out 4 assists.
This was a tough loss for the Bucks that dropped them to 2-4 on the season.
The Bucks slept walked through the first three quarters as the Rockets built a 76-59 lead. Something clicked in the 4th quarter and the Bucks actually made a game of it. Michael Redd was awesome with 34 points. Charlie Bell came off of the bench firing as he scored 22 points, grabbed 3 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. Reserve center Dan Gazduric played a good game scoring 5 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
If the Bucks would have played one good quarter in the first 3, they could have won this game.
The Bucks forgot they had a game last night and the Bulls totally destroyed them! The Bucks didn’t play any defense and allowed the Bucks to hit 54.1% of their shots. The Bucks also got pounded on the boards 44-33! Michael Redd came to play as he scored 30 points to lead the Bucks. Charlie Villanueva had another solid game with 17 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Ruben Patterson was the only other Bucks player in double figures with 10 points.
