The rookies of the Milwaukee Bucks earn a C-

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,Rookie Reports by alleyoop on Friday 20 April 2007 at 11:24 am

I have mistakenly reported that Ersan Ilyasova was a rookie even though he was drafted in 2005. With that in mind, the Bucks rookie class was not that impressive. Forward David Noel played in 68 games this season and he averaged 11.6 minutes, 2.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Point guard Lynn Greer played in 41 games this season and he averaged 10.5 minutes, 4.1 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Forward Damir Markota played in 30 games this season and he averaged 5.7 minutes, 1.7 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.2 assists per game. Markota only shot 36.5% from the floor. Greer looks like he could be a decent backup point guard in the future for the Bucks and the other two guys will probably be players that are set up low on the Bucks depth chart.

The Milwaukee Bucks need rookie Ersan Ilyasova to step up

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

Bucks rookies shooting a lot of bricks this season

None of the four rookies on the Bucks current roster is shooting over 40% from the floor. The best one of the bunch has been forward Ersan Ilyasova. Ilyasova has played in 35 games and is averaging 14.9 minutes, 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists. Ilyasova is shooting 35.7% from the floor and 31.8% from three point range and those are pretty poor percentages.

Small forward David Noel is next in line for the Bucks. He has played in 35 games and is averaging 10.0 minutes, 2.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists. Noel has hit only 39.5% of his shots from the floor and he’ll need to improve that if he wants to stick around in the NBA.

Forward Damir Markota has played in 20 games and is averaging 3.8 minutes, 1.4 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists. He’s only hit 39.3% of his shots from the floor, but in fairness to him, he hasn’t played a lot of minutes.

Guard Lynn Greer hasn’t played very much for the Bucks. He’s played in 10 games and is averaging 6.9 minutes, 1.7 points, 0.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists. He has only hit 30.4% of his shots from the floor.

Bucks not getting much from rookie class

Blogged under Front Page,Rookie Reports by Nothing but Net on Tuesday 12 December 2006 at 11:35 pm

The Bucks incoming class isn’t looking too good. Ersan Ilyasova has played the most as he has played in 17 games and has averaged 13.0 minutes, 4.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists. His main problem has been his shooting as he is only hitting 28.9% of his shots from the floor.

David Noel hasn’t played much as he has appeared in 13 games and has averaged 9.5 minutes, 2.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game so far this season. He’s been an active defender when on the court.

Damir Markota has only played in 7 games and has averaged 2.7 minutes, 1.0 point, 0.3 rebounds and 0.1 assists per game so far this season.Â

Chris McCray has played in 3 games and his only stat is that he has played 5 minutes. Lynn Greer has yet to play this season.

It doesn’t look like the Bucks have a bumper crop of rookies.
