@Tschmack posted:What I like particularly about Bobby Portis and Torrey Craig is they are high energy guys that get after it. Denver really liked Craig but couldn’t retain him. He’s going to be their primary defender on the wing and give Middleton some relief on D. Portis is interesting in that he has never played on a decent team but has done pretty well. Good rebounder. Above average shooter from 3. I view him as a more athletic upgraded version of Ersan.
Augustin and Forbes are there to shoot and make 3s. Both are very good in that regard. If they spread the floor like Bud wants them to do they should contribute very well. Augustin could have a huge year in this system and should get plenty of playing time.
The Bucks may be giving up a little bit defensively but their shooting has improved dramatically. In the playoffs, outside of Middleton and at times Hill they could not make jumpers. You leave guys like Augustin and Portis and Forbes alone they will make you pay.
Holiday is the main addition and he really doesn’t have any weaknesses other than he’s not an elite athlete or passer but still well above average. Defensively he’s as good as Bledsoe and offensively he’s a significant upgrade. He should have a big year as well.
And Holiday has been oustanding in the playoffs. Can you imagine Bledsoe going for 41 and 8 in a close out game?
