Options is the key word for coach Scott Skiles coming into the 2010 NBA season. With the free agent signing of Keyon Dooling (PG, 6-3, 230) the Bucks seem to be done shopping for the off-season. The acquisition of Dooling was the last piece to the puzzle with the departure of Luke Ridinour to the Minnesota Timberwolves (4yr/16mil). Unlike previous seasons, the Bucks seem to be 11-12 men deep on the roster. Injuries to a player will not cripple our team this year. As of now the starting lineup looks like this:
PG Brandon Jennings
SG John Salmons
SF Carlos Delfino
PF Drew Gooden
C Andrew Bogut
I've seen two different types of lineups, but this is the one I'm hoping for. Having Cory Maggetti of the bench will provided us with a lot of scoring and toughness. I don't see Maggetti and Salmons on the court together often until the end of the game. Having to slashers and scores will only create a problem. We need someone who can spread the court and Delfino has proved he can hit the three ball. Our second team will be one of the best in the league. Maggetti will be a 6th man of the year candidate if he doesn't start. Here's a look at our second team/third team:
PG Keyon Dooling/Royal Ivey
SG Chris Douglas-Roberts
SF Cory Magetti/ Luc Richard Mbah Moute/Derrington Hobson
PF Ersan Illysova/Job Brockman/Tiny Gallon
C Larry Sanders
Depth is the least of our worries this upcoming season as you can see. Mbah Moute will play either the 3/4 positions and will be asked to only play defense, if Magetti decides not to. We also have a lot of size and should have no problem rebounding the basketball. The only question mark I can see is coming into the year is will Magetti play defense for coach Scott Skiles. If not, we could see a problem with an angry benched Magetti.
As always Go Bucks Go
