Re: Detroit At Milwaukee - April 17 8PM

Maxiell- Flat out beast. This guy is a stud in the paint. Every time he touches the ball down there I wait for bodies to start flying. He is really going to help us in the future. It will be nice to have a guy around the rim that you can just toss the ball to and watch him go up strong with it (the McWallaces kind of shy away from that at this point). Once he gets his free-throw stroke more steady (He was mid-60s in college), he'll be good to go. It was great to see him rebounding today. Looked like a poor man's Barkley out there today.

Amir- Wow... totally unexpected. I expected a dunk or two. But two treys? 18 points? Crazy. This kid really looks like he has a knack for finishing around the rim. The jumper looks better. All he needs to work on his his strength, defense, and a little ball-handling. SF or PF though? Tough to say if he'll grow into a PF.

Delfino- I have said this all along... Carlos needs the ball in his hands, and he needs to get some decent minutes. Next year, when lindsey retires, he should be running the offense off the bench with Delk playing the shooting guard "role", but guarding the PG on defense. Carlos just looks so much better when he's driving into the lane and looking to setup teammates or score instead of spotting up (that split-the-screen, dribble-drive, no-looker to Amir for the Dunk was absolutely sick). Ditch Mo Evans, and hand the reigns over to los. He can guard the SG/SF, but play with a point guard mentallity on the other end. It's perfect. He should easily be able to get 25 minutes backing up both Rip and Tayshaun.

Acker- TBD. I need to see more time. He looked bad here, but I think it might be nerves.
