I call that "Eric Bledsoe" syndrome.



Do you guys remember what Brook's nickname was in here for like 10 years after we drafted BOA Alexander 2 picks before him? Everyone called him Wilt lol.. I think we passed on him because we already had bigs so it wasn't a position of need
God times, man, good times.

Wilt was a sarcastic nickname.

That was a result of me sparring with Europa and Paul Cousins I think over passing on Brook in 2008.I think Paul started calling him that to shut me up. 8-)

That pick killed me. On the other hand, having him come to Milwaukee and help the team to a title a decade later? Perfection.

Europa was wrong about A LOT of things.

Former #1 Andrew Bogut was the C & they bet on him developing. Problem was he had a career altering injury. Was looking like the best center in the NBA for a stretch before it happened.

Turns out he's also a dbag off the court, so whatever.


Twin Towers was a legit strategy back then. Either one of them could stay with 4s the way they used to move and how they were built -- small ball wasn't the effective go to yet. The other problem is we were pretty high on Charlie V as our 2nd tower, so we went for the need position and left all that talent for the Nets.

Lol great insight. I wanted Brook on draft day. But before the season there was a picture of Joe Alexander touching his head on the rim or something that had me hard but then once basketball started he only went hard for cheerleaders from what I remember hahahaa.. Once Brook was walking double/double almost immediately, I was pissed we missed out on him right with you.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
