Bucks open season with taller front line
THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS open the 2012-'13 National Basketball Association season this month taller and stronger on the front line than they have been 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) also will have a major front court presence, depending on head coach Scott Skiles' matchups.
"There is no reason why we won't have a legiti- mate 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 all home games at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, 1001 N. Fourth St.. Tickets may be obtained at the Bradley Center Box Office or www.bucks .com.
