Sanders was the only big on the Bucks short list for their top pick at 15. If Sanders had been chosen, the Bucks were prepared to select combo guard Avery Bradley of Texas. Racine Journal-Times

did they make the right choice

[PlatypusParticipant]

there 2nd round picks were

37. Darington Hobson – Small Forward

44. Jerome Jordan – Center

47. Tiny Gallon – Power Forward

I really didnt like the pick of larry sanders just because i dont think highly of sanders. I think if they were to have drafted bradley he could play the 2 for them alongside jennings and they wouldve been fast as all hell. Bradley is also a great defender. This would make it to where they wouldnt be as affected by salmons leaving and then they could draft gallon like they did in the second round and let him be a millsap type of guy along with andrew bogut. The hobson pick didnt make sense to me seeing as he and douglas-roberts are very similar players but i guess they just went with BPA. I think james anderson wouldve been a good pick for them as well.

I like Bradley but I don’t like him at SG. In Milwakee he is either at the 2 or the back up 1. I think James Anderson would have been a better fit if they wanted a shooting guard.

Hobson’s undersized but skilled at everything ala Salmons…CDR is BJ’s backcourt running mate for the future…Hobson needs get the experience to overthrow Maggs in the starting lineup…Then Sanders is there as the Milllsap type hard worker and Moute is the undersized yet stellar defender tweener ala AK47..As long as Maggs doesn’t train wreck that teams locker room..the Bucks have become become the 4th to 8th Team that can give anyone a run for their money…I think Skiles could be the next Sloane in Utah..he and Jerry have a lot in common and both seem like perfect fits in the cities they coach…Scott bounced around a lot but I think he’ll stick in the Mil. Wisconsin area….

Bucks Line Up…

Pg-B.Jennings…L.Ridnour..Jennings top 10 point guard already may become top 5 with Team in Wisconsin…
Sg-C.Douglas-Roberts…Delfino…M.Redd…Start CDR…He’s proved he can play with an elite Point Guard and still score…PLus you Can’t count on Redd and Delfino is better as a back up…
Sf-C.Maggette…D.Hobson…Think of Maggs as a Harpring type slashing and abusing you on the back door cuts..and DH would give you a versatile hand off the bench..He’ll be a Salmons type in Milwaukee
Pf-Moute…Ilyasova…Gallon
C-Bogut…Sanders…

A lot of size and talent in the front court but they would become contenders in the East with a Star Pf …

Depth

C Bogut – Sanders / Jordan
PF Mbah ah Moute – Ilyasova – Gallon
SF Maggette – Delfino / Hobson
SG CDR – Redd / Hobson
PG Brandon Jennings – ??

[PlatypusParticipant]

i think they should try to trade Mbah ah Moute for a back up point guard then they can let Sanders or Illyasova develop or try to sign Livingston or Foye for a back up

I think Sanders is a worthy gamble as a project big. He is still far from where he needs to be on both skills and size, but it is hard to ignore the fact that he made tremendous strides from year one to three at VCU. I think Milwaukee can feel pretty good about knowing Sanders is willing to work. I don’t know if he’ll ever bulk up enough to be a great player, but he should be able to play role. I don’t know about Bradley. He is a nice athlete, but he had an underwhelming freshman year and entered the draft. It is hard to know if he is a hard enough worker to make the needed improvements to maximize his abilities.

[parkerjParticipant]

for next season i think so, sanders should provide depth in the front court that they need…they seem to be in “win now” mode

long term? ehh…his development seemed to be a lot bigger between his freshman and sophomore years than between his sophomore and junior years…

i’m not quite sure on the Sanders pick, i don’t know if he is a goot fit alongside Bogut! i think they wanted Patterson who would have be a great fit but was going one spot before.
