Bucks off to fast start
with taller front line
THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS got the National
Basketball season off to a fast start with wins at
home and on the road, thanks in part to a taller
and stronger front line than they have had in
many seasons.
After missing the playoffs last season, the Bucks
acquired Samuel Dalembert (6-11, 250) from the
Houston Rockets. Then, free agent Joel Przybilla
(7-1, 255) returned for another stint with his first
team. First-round pick John Henson (6-11, 220)
and Larry Sanders (6-11, 235) add to the front
court presence available to coach Scott Skiles.
"There is no reason why we won't have a legitimate shot-blocker on the court for every minute
of every game,��� says GM John Hammond.
For scoring, the Bucks rely on the backcourt
punch of Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings.
The Bucks play home games at the BMO Harris
Bradley Center, 1001 N. Fourth St. Tickets may be
obtained at the Bradley Center Box Office or
