Hypothetical Roster - Bucks 2010-11

Here's who the Bucks currently have (at least in their hypothetical playing rotation):

Guards - Brandon Jennings, Luke Ridnour, Carlos Delfino, Chris Douglas-Roberts

Forwards - Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Ersan Ilyasova, Corey Maggette

Center - Andrew Bogut

Here's what we need:

1) Legit 2-guard that can shoot. Not a small 3 or a shoot-first PG. A shooting guard,
Answer: Xavier Henry in the first round of Thursday's draft.

2) Backup big men, to play behind Bogut
Answer: Tiny Gallon, 2nd round pick
Possibly resigning Kurt Thomas, if he doesn't retire.

3) Veteran point guard, if Ridnour signs elsewhere
Answer: Keith Bogans/Travis Diener, because both would be kind of funny

4) Glue guy/Spark (I really hope the Bucks pick up this guy somehow)
Answer: Greivis Vasquez, 2nd round

If this all holds true to form, with Ridnour and Thomas sticking around, our rotation would be as follows:

PG - Jennings
SG - Delfino
SF - Maggette
PF - Ilyasova
C - Bogut

2nd team guards: Ridnour, Henry, CDR
Reserve big men: Gallon, Thomas, Mbah a Moute
Glue guy: Vasquez


Assuming everyone stays healthy, I see a team that is not only dangerous but respected in the East. There's no way of knowing what the East will look like, with Wade/LeBron/everyone else still unsigned, but there's no reason this team can't repeat as a 4 or 5 seed in the East.
