|
| |  | 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. | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: MARCUS THORNTON is the only one guaranteed a consistent role on the perimeter . . . ISAIAH THOMAS was the story of the second half for the Kings. He can fill up the box score, but at 5-foot-9 (at best) he's too much of a defensive liability and not a point guard . . . AARON BROOKS is the most talented guard on this team. He's had attitude problems in the past, but he could, and should, lead this team . . . Now that he remained in Sacto, TYREKE EVANS will be playing off the ball at the three against his wishes . . . The Kings will keep on trying to unload JOHN SALMONS, who's not a useful NBA player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE should have a role off the bench, but his ball-handling is not where it has to be for an NBA point guard . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA's chance seems to have passed him by. FORWARDS: THOMAS ROBINSON should emerge as a starter early in his rookie year. He has his flaws on both ends of the floor, but he brings energy and doesn't need a lot of touches to get his points . . . Even if Robinson knocks him to the bench, JASON THOMPSON should play the five at times and see close to starter's minutes . . . JAMES JOHNSON should also play big minutes soon considering his ability to make positive contributions without a lot of touches . . . CHUCK HAYES should continue to play second-unit minutes as a glue guy . . . TRAVIS OUTLAW has regressed to the point that he's lucky to have a roster spot . . . TYLER HONEYCUTT has an intriguing skill set as a defensive-minded point forward, but he's likely ticketed for the D-League again. CENTERS: DeMARCUS COUSINS came on strong late last season. There's no doubt he has All-Star potential, but between his awful shot selection and occasional attitude problems, he just hasn't lived up to his potential. After Team USA passed on him this summer because of reported maturity problems, he might still not get it. |

*Bucks-Kings Preview* =====================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Milwaukee (31-29) at Sacramento (22-42), 9:00 p.m. EDT
Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings are carrying the Milwaukee Bucks toward a rare playoff appearance.
Sacramento Kings coach Keith Smart knows it's going to be a challenge to slow the Bucks' talented backcourt on Sunday night in the California capital.
Since the Bucks (31-29) dropped nine of 11, Ellis is averaging 25.7 points during a 5-1 run. He had 26 points, five rebounds and five assists in Saturday's 103-93 win over Golden State.
"Monta has been playing at this level for quite a while now," said coach Jim Boylan, whose team is 1-1 on a trip that ends Sunday. "He's really taken off."
The same could be said of Jennings, who hit a season-best six 3-pointers and finished with 31 points and 10 assists on Saturday, and now has a career-best four consecutive double-doubles. The point guard is averaging 20.0 points and 14.5 assists during that run and has helped Milwaukee build an 8 1/2-game lead over Toronto for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks, who have been to the playoffs once since 2006, are going for their first season sweep of the Kings (22-42) since 2008-09 after defeating them 98-85 on Dec. 12 behind Ellis' 17 points and 11 assists and Jennings' 19 points.
"They have two very, very talented small players who can create a lot of problems and you have to be aware of where you need to be as far as help (and) where you need to be in your pick-and-roll coverage," Smart told the Kings' official website. "Plus, they can shoot the long-range shot, which makes it a little bit difficult because they can spread the floor."
The addition of J.J. Redick from Orlando last month has made it even more challenging for opposing defenses. The veteran sharpshooter hit two 3s and scored eight of his 15 in the fourth quarter on Saturday.
The Kings also have a number long-range threats. Over the last six games, Marcus Thornton is averaging a team-best 23.3 points on 25 of 52 from beyond the arc, John Salmons is 17 of 37, Tyreke Evans has hit 10 of 22 3-point attempts and point guard Isaiah Thomas has converted half of his 26 3-point tries.
Sacramento is averaging 113.1 points and 27.3 assists during this stretch after handing out 32 in Friday's 121-112 victory over Phoenix. The Kings also had four players (Thomas, Evans, Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins) score more than 20 for the first time since a 129-122 home loss to Milwaukee on Jan. 16, 2009.
"What's been working is us playing unselfishly, making the next pass and also getting guys just shooting it with confidence and knocking it down," Thomas said after the team hit 13 of 27 3s and shot 54.9 percent overall.
That didn't happen Dec. 12 when the Kings missed 16 of 19 3-pointers and converted 37.2 percent from the field. Sacramento, though, was without Cousins (suspended) and Thornton (personal reasons) for that matchup.
Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova is listed as day-to-day after missing Saturday's game with a left knee injury suffered on Wednesday. He scored 16 points and grabbed 14 boards the last time these teams played.
The Bucks are 3-1 outside Milwaukee since a season-worst four-game road losing streak.
The Kings have won three straight and seven of eight at home against the East. They snapped a three-game home skid to the Bucks last Jan. 5, winning 103-100.
