The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Desmond Mason to a multi year deal. Mason played in 75 games last year for the Hornets and he averaged 34.3 minutes, 13.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. He is not much of a shooter as he has hit 45.2% of his shots from the floor and 66.3% from the free throw line. Mason is an outstanding finisher in the transition game and that should lead to some easy baskets for the Bucks this season.

Mason has now played in 540 NBA games in his career (306 starts) and he has averaged 31.1 minutes, 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He has shot 44.6% from the floor, 26.3% from three point range and 75.4% from the free throw line over his NBA career. Bringing Mason back to the Bucks was a good move as they are a team in need of more players with athletic ability.

Ersan Ilyasova has left the Bucks to play in Spain. He has signed a 3 year, $5 million dollar contract to play in Spain’s professional basketball league. Ilyasova played in 66 games (14 starts) as a rookie for the Bucks and he averaged 14.7 minutes, 6.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He didn’t shoot too well as he only hit 38.3% from the floor, 36.5% from three point range and 78.7% from the free throw line. The Bucks shouldn’t miss Ilyasova too much as he didn’t step up when the Bucks needed him to last season.

The Bucks have re-signed point guard Maurice Williams for 6 seasons and $52 million bucks. Williams had his best season of his NBA career last year with the Bucks. He played in 68 games (all starts) and he averaged 36.4 minutes, 17.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He shot 44.6% from the floor, 34.6% from three point range and 85.5% from the free throw line.Â

Williams has now played in 263 games (160 starts) over his NBA career and he has averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game. He has shot 43.2% from the floor, 34.8% from three point range and 84.5% from the free throw line. Look for his career numbers to continue to improve due to the fact that he is now a starting player that plays big minutes.

The Bucks have signed center/power forward Jake Voskuhl to a 1-year, $3 has million dollar contract. Voskuhl played in 73 games (9 starts) and he averaged 14.3 minutes, 4.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Voskuhl hit 47.5% of his shots from the floor and 68.1% from the free throw line. Most of his shots were at close range which explains his high field goal range despite having a low free throw shooting %.Â

Voskuhl has now played in 368 games over his NBA career (92 starts) and he has averaged 15.8 minutes, 4.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and o.6 assists per game. He has shot 49.7% from the floor and 70.7% from the free throw line over his NBA career. He should be a decent reserve for the Bucks as long as expectations are not too high for him.
