Fake! Nobody bothers to point out a little tacker that's only 4 metres.

Therefore, I think Michael Carter Williams will be our starter. I know you all hate him and think I am crazy. Carter Williams is an above average defender and seems to be improving each season. His length and athleticism causes opposing PG problems. His offense play isn't really that bad other than his inconstancy which I believe will improve over time. I expect a much better year from him this year as I am sure the Bucks staff does as well. I believe the Bucks have not yet given up on him. That's why he wasn't traded. I also think his outside shooting will improve as well. He will far surpass the shooting prowess of say a Rajon Rondo. His form isn't that bad. It's more about shot selection and finding a rhythm.
I think Carter Williams gets 28 minutes a game and Delladova clocks 20. Having Delledova running the second unit will give our bench a nice advantage.

I watched the same series. Well I recall him having a couple nice offensive breakout games, I did not see the defense you are talking about. I guess you are talking about the few times he tried to mug Curry. I will admit he is agressive and gets into peoples faces but if that fails, the aforementioned players will be scoring a lot of layups. The fact he signed with us for around 9 million per season pretty much says what the rest of the teams in the league thinks of his starting potential. Don't get me wrong, I like his toughness and 3 point shooting but he does not have quickness to stay with opposing point guards. This will for surely be a problem with no one in middle who really can protect the rim. Maybe in a couple years Maker will fill that role, but that is some time away.engelmartin wrote:MJ Bucks wrote:I

I see where you're going here, but did you miss Dellavedova's defense in the finals two years ago? Or the fact that he's pretty much one of the premiere defensive players at PG in the NBA (that might be overstating it). You saw what he did against Curry. If he can lock down Curry I'm really not that worried about Reggie Jackson.
Also, transition defense is the least of our problems.

MJ Bucks wrote:I am new to the board so please forgive me if someone has already echoed these thoughts. I think signing Dellavdova for under $10M per season was a good signing. However, I do not see him as a starting caliber point guard in today's NBA. I believe Michael Carter Williams will be the open day starter.
Here is why I feel this way. Delladova is a efficient point guard. He shoots the 3 with good efficiency, passes the ball well and has pretty good instincts. What I am most concerned about is his lateral movement on defense. He tries to make up for this deficiency with physical play but that just isn't going to work against the teams we need to beat in the East in order to make the playoffs and make some noise once we reach the playoffs.
Here is a list of point guards on teams in the East we need to be able to beat that Delladova can't stay in front of their PG's, Rajon Rondo (Chic) Kyrie Irving (Clev) Jeff Teague (Ind) Dennis Schoeder (ATL) John Wall (Wash) Kemba Walker (Char) Goran Dragic (Mia) Derrick Rose (NY) Elfrid Payton (Orl) Isiah Thomas (Bos) Reggie Jackson (Det) All these teams have a reasonable shot at making the playoffs and I don't think Delladova can guard any of these players well. Since we really don't have a starting center who is a rim protector (Please don't say Jon Henson) Delladova's weakness will be amplified. Add to the fact that Jabari Parker doesn't rotate or recover well when trying to give help and one can only imagine how much of a mess are starting lineup will be on defense.
Keep in mind (for those who forgot) Defense wins Championships in the NBA. Cleveland showed that once again this past season even if it made me want to puke.

I think you signed both of those guys to be place-holder starters until you get someone more talented. I expect Thon to eventually be the starting C and I expect us to sign or trade for an upgrade at PG in the next few seasons.
