If 27-year old small forward Carlos Delfino doesn’t start shooting better soon the Bucks should cut his minutes. He has played in 28 games (27 starts) for the Bucks this season and he is averaging 25.6 minutes, 8.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Delfino is only shooting 37.7% from the floor and that just will not get the job done for a small forward in the NBA.

Michael Redd has been the best offensive player on the Bucks for quite a few years now. But, he has been injured the last couple of years and the rust is showing so far this season . He has played in 10 games (4 starts) for the Bucks this season and he is averaging 27.4 minutes, 10.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Redd’s shooting has been was off so far this year as he is only shooting 34.8% from three point range, 30.6% from three point range and 54.5% from the free throw line. Redd is much better than that and if he and Andrew Bogut can just stay healthy the Bucks could be a surprise team the rest of the year.

Desmond Mason has been shooting really bad this month (39.5% from the floor) and that’s need to change based on how much the Bucks are paying him. Mason has started 6 games this month so far and he’s averaging 25.5 minutes, 7.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game. The Bucks can’t click on all cylinders with Michael Redd doing everything on offense so they need Mason to step up.

Charlie Bell signed an offer sheet with the Miami Heat in the off-season and he flat out told the Bucks not to match it because he wouldn’t play hard for them. That seems to be the case this season as he’s playing awful. He has played in 15 games so far this season and he’s averaging 18.5 minutes, 4.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. His shooting was a strength last season but he’s only hitting 28.8% from the floor and he will continue to see his minutes diminish if he doesn’t start shooting better soon. The Bucks should have just let him walk.

With all of the injuries the Bucks have suffered they are giving Ersan Ilyasova some big minutes, now they need him to produce. In April, Ilyasova has played in 7 games and he’s averaged 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. He’s only shooting 37.7% from the floor and he’s 6 for 21 (28.6%) from three-point range.Â
