Veteran shooting guard/small forward Jerry Stackhouse is helping the Bucks off the bench so far. He has played in 10 games (0 starts) for the Bucks so far this season and he is averaging 19.7 minutes, 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Stackhouse is giving the Bucks a spark of the bench while re-establishing himself in the NBA.
Back-up point guard Luke Ridnour is having a solid year for the Bucks. He has played in 46 games (0 starts) for the Bucks this season and he is averaging 22.3 minutes, 11.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Ridnour is shooting well from everywhere on the court also as he is hitting 48.7% of his shots from the floor, 40.4% from three point range and 90.7% from the free-throw line. The amazing thing about Ridnour’s play this season is when you look at his per 48 minutes stats they are very close to Brandon Jennings’. Ridnour is averaging 24.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.7 steals per 48 minutes this season while Jennings is averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.7 steals per 48 minutes. Plus when you factor in that Ridnour is a better shooter from everywhere than Jennings you can really see the kind of year he is having.
Milwaukee Bucks’ rookie Brandon Jennings has been playing very well for a rookie this season, but his shot has been struggling for quite some time now. Jennings still has a game every now and then where he will light it up, but his shot has been far from consistent and opposing teams are starting to take note. On the season he is averaging 17.7 points, 6.2 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals on 38% shooting. He is shooting 39% from three on the season, but he only hit 32% in December and 35% in January. That is not too bad for three point shooting, but it is his overall FG percentage that is cause for concern, as it keeps getting worse. He shot 42% in November, 38% in December, and 32% in January. It looks like the 6′1″, 170 lbs. rookie has been hitting a wall. Jennings is still a good playmaker for the Bucks, and is one of the top rookies in the league, but he really needs to start shooting at a better percentage.
