Milwaukee Bucks: Are they Redd-y?


Are they Redd-y?

Milwaukee Bucks

By Marc Cleo Salayo, Sauyo HS


OUTLOOK

It will be a challenging season for the Milwaukee Bucks as they open their battle without a bulk of their starting five in forwards Richard Jefferson and Charlie Villanueva, and court general Ramon Sessions.


It seems like their playing injured, but with the acquisitions of Hakim Warrick, Walter Sharpe, Kurt Thomas, Ersan Ilyasova, Carlos Delfino, and the return to harness of streak-shooter Michael Redd as well as highly-touted rookie Brandon Jennings, the Bucks are playing with the future in mind.


It might not be a very competitive line-up, but those players will step up to accept the NBA challenge. Players like sophie Joe Alexander, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, and Charlie Bell are now taking their test as they now include the Milwaukee rotation.


After a one-year career in Italy, Jennings is now making his way to play in the NBA, a young talented player with veteran moves that can help the wounded Bucks.


Scott Skiles returns to coach Milwaukee and hopes to bring back the Bucks to the playoffs after a three-year absence.


Bucks will start their season eight new players in the line-up. They may not get their tempo in their start but soon they can get their roles as the season moves onwards.


X-FACTOR

After missing 49 games last season and with Jefferson and Villanueva now plying their trade elsewhere, Michael Redd takes the centerstage anew with hopes of bringing his legendary shot back inside the hoops of Milwaukee. Expect Redd to be more aggressive and pumped-up as the season progresses.

PREDICTION

30-52 (fourth in Central Division)
