Lead a comeback from 23 points down for a W.

Wiggins is going to be really good one day.

Wiggins just doesn't look very coordinated to me. He flails a lot. MAybe its because he's weak.

he just needs to gain more weight. if you see him in real life he looks like a stick figure. hes really skinny. not sure how much he weighs now but added weight should help i think.

Exum played relatively well, barring he still cannot shoot off the dribble(still doesn't have a bucket out of 10 feet off the dribble). Had some nice assist and all, but the main reason for that +15 was garbage time... He played against their second and third stringers in the last quarter and we dropped the lead from 30 to 13...

These young, tall, long, skinny athletic guys like Bruno, Exum and Giannis seem to be all the rage right now, but it's mostly talk about potential still.

Giannis is already the best player on the Bucks, plenty of potential left but he's very good right now. It's probably the reason Bucks fans aren't spamming this thread with Parker stuff. The ROY leader is a distant second best teenager on his team. :) (Parker has had a nice little run of game though.)

He's a little bit more than stretch 4. He has a very good first step and rebs well too. Handles pretty good and unselffish

Payton's been great. How do you see him fitting in to your back-court? Are Oladipo and Fournier locks for the starting positions going forward?
