VEGAS JIM:
He's the perfect fit for this team--tall, long, and athletic. If they have a shot at him at 8, they better not pass him up.
He is just the
opposite of what they need! They are filled with a roster of players and underachievers like that. He is not a 'perfect fit.' He is ill fitted. They need the complete opposite!
The Bucks need a wide-body, and a guy who is physical with some interior toughness like an Elton Brand or Ron Artest. Not another project and stringbean who is light in the a--!
You have that in Villanueva and Yi and Ilyasova if you bring him back! You need either a marquee Star in Beasley if you can move up to #2 or #3 or a guy like Gordon or OJ Mayo.
Guys who can draw fans and score and make this team appealing and put it on its back. Redd sure as hell can't. And Bogut is a follower not a true leader and has no dominant low post presence to be anything more then a solid NBA borderline All Star.
But he is not expolosive, he is not dominating, nor overly big or strong. But he is a very nice blender. He blends in and complements what you already have.
But I would even move him (Bogut) to move down and package him with Redd or Mo and then a take Beasley, Alexander and then draft Roy Hibbert...later on.
That is a lot of rookies but it gives Scott Skiles a new base to work with and talented, hungry, and tough players to nuture and mold.
"Asked what he thought of the Brewers’ big move, Cameron’s eyes brightened.
“It’s a blessing to get a guy like that,” Cameron said. “Milwaukee’s starting to turn up the dial.”
