|
| |  | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON JENNINGS benefitted from the arrival of Monta Ellis last year. He has the offense and system to thrive, and now needs to prove he can be efficient enough to be a star . . . MONTA ELLIS played second fiddle to Jennings last year, and really struggled to shoot the ball. The Bucks now play the kind of tempo he likes, but he'll have to adjust to playing off the ball more often . . . BENO UDRIH won't see a ton of action off the bench considering Jennings and Ellis play so many minutes. If a starter gets hurt, he could step in and hit a lot of threes . . . Second-rounder DORON LAMB has some upside as a future sixth man, but figures to ride the bench this year once his torn elbow ligament heals. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA should finally get some respect from Skiles after starring down the stretch last year . . . MIKE DUNLEAVY re-emerged as a legitimate three-point threat, though he doesn't do much else . . . DREW GOODEN's role should shrink with Ilyasova stepping up and Sam Dalembert coming in . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH a MOUTE is coming off knee surgery, but he's improving as a rebounder and can play both forward spots off the bench . . . Rookie JOHN HENSON is a defensive stud and does enough as a screener to get decent minutes early . . . TOBIAS HARRIS was a Summer League star, but he's too much of a 'tweener to thrive in the NBA . . . EKPE UDOH provides defense and rebounding off the bench . . . LARRY SANDERS has potential, but this frontcourt is too crowded for him to make an impact. CENTERS: SAM DALEMBERT fell in and out of favor in Houston, but he's exactly what the Bucksneed as a defensive presence in the paint. Milwaukee has numerous players who can man the five in spots (Ekpe Udoh, Drew Gooden), but Dalembert is by far their best defensive option and should see big minutes . . . JOEL PRZYBILLA signed on in August to provide back-end depth on the pine. | | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS is healthy and got a much-improved supporting cast to work with. He could re-enter the NBA's best point guard discussion . . . JOE JOHNSON won't have the ballin his hands as much as he used to in Atlanta. It might give him a chance to concentrate on regaining his stroke as one of the NBA's best shooters . . . MARSHON BROOKS will look to settle in as a high-scoring sixth man. He'll be trade bait for most of the season . . . After a disastrous year in Chicago, C.J. WATSON will be asked to spell Williams for a few minutes a night . . . KEITH BOGANS is still kicking around as a second unit glue guy . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR is an at-times out-of-control combo guard, but the rookie could threaten Watson's role at some point. FORWARDS: KRIS HUMPHRIES' contract was structured to make him easier to trade. He'll rebound and get his put-backs, and the Nets will likely showcase him a bit . . . GERALD WALLACE is slowing down, and now that he's signed his last big NBA contract he might not have much incentive to live up to his 'Crash' nickname. Brooklyn has no choice but to give him heavy minutes considering their investment . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC is a veteran stretch four. Consider him a penniless man's Channing Frye . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA played himself into a roster spot this summer. He's a mediocre athlete, but a cagey scorer with a high basketball IQ . . . JOSH CHILDRESS and JERRY STACKHOUSE were added in September for depth . . . REGGIE EVANS will flop unconvincingly, punch opponents in the jewels and bring other 'tough guy' intangibles. CENTERS: BROOK LOPEZ had been remarkably durable before last year's foot injury, and he should be fully healed by the start of training camp. He's gifted offensively, but will continue to grab relatively few rebounds and generally get fried defensively. He's also a candidate to be traded midseason if another franchise can stomach his max contract . . . As insurance, former Wizards big man ANDRAY BLATCHE was brought in. He could be the team's best interior defender, able to play either the four or five spot. |

*Bucks-Nets Preview* ====================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Milwaukee (9-9) at Brooklyn (11-7), 6:00 p.m. EDT
Maybe a new home and look will get the Brooklyn Nets over the hump against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Nets go for their first win in this series in nearly four years as they host the Bucks on Sunday night.
Milwaukee has won the past 11 meetings, with its last loss coming March 3, 2009, but those all came when the Nets were based in New Jersey. Those games also were before Brooklyn's offseason additions of Joe Johnson and Andray Blatche - two of its top four scorers.
It seems the Nets (11-7) have a decent chance to end the drought this season, on pace to finish with a better record than the Bucks (9-9) for the first time since 2007-08.
However, Brooklyn enters this matchup trying to snap a three-game losing streak, the last two at Barclays Center. The Nets had won five straight before the skid, which continued with a 109-102 loss to Golden State on Friday.
Their impressive 11-4 start was anchored by defense. They held opponents to 90.4 points per game during that span, but that number is 109.3 over the last three.
The Nets' last three opponents shot a combined 53.8 percent from the field, including 43.4 percent 3-point shooting.
"Our problem is defense," coach Avery Johnson said. "We are not the same team defensively. We have to get back and figure it out. We have to get our team out of this defensive funk."
The loss of 7-foot center Brook Lopez could be partially to blame. Lopez, averaging a career-high 2.5 blocks, has missed the last four games with a sprained right foot and is likely out Sunday. He performed more agility and shooting drills Saturday and was pain free but is still considered day-to-day.
Blatche has played well taking Lopez's place in the lineup, averaging 18.8 points in his first four starts of the season.
Blatche had 22 points with a season-high 15 rebounds Friday, and Johnson scored a season-best 32, but Brooklyn wasted a 13-point lead in the first half. A week earlier, the team blew a 14-point advantage in a loss to Miami.
"We've had similar games like this all season where we get out to a lead and really can't hang on to it," said Deron Williams, who has 56 points over the last two games.
Milwaukee is also struggling after a surprising 6-2 start. The Bucks have dropped seven of 10, even with Friday's 108-93 home win over Charlotte.
Their second-highest scoring total of the season and first 100-point performance since Nov. 21 was a welcome shift. Milwaukee averaged 91.9 points in its previous nine games after putting up 101.0 per game in the first eight.
Leading scorers Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings were held to a combined 28 points on 8-of-27 shooting Friday, but the Bucks improved to 5-0 when Jennings has at least eight assists.
Ersan Ilyasova stepped up with season highs of 21 points and 12 rebounds, and Marquis Daniels scored a season-best 18 in his fourth straight start.
Daniels was 3 of 3 from beyond the arc and has hit his last four after starting 1 for 12.
"They kept telling me to look to shoot the ball, look to score," he said. "It opened it up for the other guys."
Mike Dunleavy, averaging 10.8 points but held below double figures in his last five, could miss a third consecutive game due to a bruised left knee.
Jennings averaged 27.0 points in Milwaukee's three-game sweep last season.
