Jennings give Bucks potential, excitement
The Bucks are far from being among the contenders in the National Basketball Association's Eastern Conference. But with rookie point guard Brandon Jennings, they have the potential to be among the most exciting young teams in the league.

Jennings took long road back to Milwaukee
Brandon Jennings, the Bucks' 19-year-old first-round draft pick, ended his prep career at the Bradley Center in the 2008 McDonald's All-American Game. His NBA career will get underway in the same place, but Jennings took the long way in getting there.

Bucks land pair of guards
Most expected John Hammond to use the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft on a point guard. Few, though, thought the Bucks general manager would use that pick on Brandon Jennings, a 19-year-old that spent last season playing professionally in Spain.

Sympathy for the bedeviled? Bucks deserve a break
Injuries aren't an excuse. You hear it all the time from players and coaches and it's hogwash. Considering the way things went for the Bucks in 2008-09, it's impossible not to consider the injuries that contributed to another frustrating trip to the NBA Draft lottery. Just as things seemed to be heading in the right direction, Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut got hurt.

Villanueva's improvement keying Bucks' playoff run
Many figured Charlie Villanueva would be shipped out when John Hammond and Scott Skiles set out to remake the Milwaukee Bucks. Instead, Villanueva has not only won back his starting job, he's also become one of the team's best offensive threats and is playing a big role in the Bucks' playoff push.

Bucks' playoff hopes still strong
They've matched their total victories from last season. They've scored 100 points in three straight games. They're sharing the ball. They're playing defense. And, even without three key players, the Bucks -- 26-29 at the all-star break -- are still in playoff contention.

Bucks' injury bug elicits sympathy for the bedeviled
Though injuries to key players like Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut and Luke Ridnour have put a serious dent in the Bucks' post-season aspirations, head coach Scott Skiles and general manager John Hammond aren't looking for sympathy. The tough thing about the setbacks is the timing. Not only were the Bucks seemingly headed in the right direction, they need to build momentum for a much-needed new facility.

With Redd out for the year, Bucks turn to Plan B
Losing Michael Redd -- and his 21.2 points per game -- was a big blow for a Bucks team clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. With a trade unlikely, it will be up to his teammates to pick up the slack in order to make it to the post-season. Luckily for them, they've been down this road before.

Bucks notes: Gadzuric makes most of opportunity
Dan Gadzuric hasn't had a lot of opportunities to make a big impression this season. Given a chance Wednesday night against the Bulls, he made the most of it. Gadzuric's 11 points and 14 rebounds helped propel the Bucks to a 97-90 victory.
