Can Redd, Bucks Get It Together?

When the Bucks acquired Richard Jefferson in the off-season, expectations began to mount. The duo of Jefferson and Redd was suppose to lead the Bucks into the post-season, then injuries began to happen. Bogut went down and the Bucks lost their man in the middle, but it didn’t completely ruin their season as as they stayed in contention for a post-season berth up until March. That’s when Michael Redd then went down and so did playoff hopes for the Bucks. Now the question of whether or not they can bounce back from those injuries and pick up where they left off at when healthy in the 2008-09 season. The only upside of having a disappointing seadon due to injuries is the fact that you are rewarded a lottery pick in the process.

Milwaukee will be selecting 10th overall and they could look to go big as with Bogut’s ability to come back and contribute up in limbo, they cannot afford to be without someone who can do damage in the paint. A guy like DaJaun Blair could be a nice pick-up for them as he gives that added muscle in the paint and someone who can and will scrap and is not easily overpowered. Even if Bogut does come back and performs exceptationally well, Blair could be that force in the paint that the Bucks could use off of the bench.
