Taller Bucks contend
for NBA playoff spot
THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS this season are surprising NBA competitors with a taller and
stronger front line that has helped move them
into contention for a playoff berth.
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.
"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
