I just thought I would point that out to the CBlog since when I noticed it today I was stunned.  6 games above .500 when 3 of their better players have only played 25 (Parker), 27 (Sanders), and 29 (Ilysova) games.  Not to mention Henson at only 37 games and Pachulia at 43 games. Absolutely astonishing.  Big props to the Bucks and Jason Kidd (who has to win coach of the year right?)

Gotta figure either Kidd or Budenholzer. I'm not sure whose record shocks me more.

Kidd's got the Bucks playing great D. They've got a nice foundation there and it'll be interesting to see how they progress next year with Jabari coming back and maybe even Sanders.

It's amazing. I am completely shocked by how well they have done this year.

4th in defensive efficiency.

Aside from Ilysova, their whole team is just top 15 draft picks who have played essentially their whole careers together

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
They had some decent pieces there last year - Giannis, Knight, Middleton, even role guys like Pachulia - but just couldn't get it together.  Now with all the young guys having a year more development, and Kidd, who shockingly seems like a pretty good coach already, they're really starting to click.

It's not good in the long-run, but I think in the short term not having to develop Parker has helped them win some games.

As for COY, it's probably between Kidd, Budenholzer, and Kerr, with Kerr at a disadvantage because GS already had high expectations.  I think Budenholzer's got the inside track because they've got the better record and Kidd probably rubbed a few people the wrong way with the Brooklyn fiasco.

Jason Kidd > brad Stevens ? Hate to say it but it looks that way. Bucks are over achieving.

Kidd got more to work with and the Bucks players aren't constantly getting traded.

doesn't surprise me at all.  called it last year that the Bucks were grossly underperforming for the talent they had on the roster.  Adding Parker to that team was just gravy for them.   they're performing a bit better than expected with those players missing time but the rest of that roster has stepped up their games

Kidd's got more at his arsenal. I'm not doubting his abilities as coach but he has a lot more talent to work with than Brad does. Kidd has the Greek freak, Jabari, Brandon Knight, Larry Sanders (he'll be great if his head's on straight, but that's his biggest question mark), John Henson, and Kris Middleton. Lot's of good young talent to develop. Even his role players are pretty darn good. Oj Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, Zaza Pachulia, Ersan Ilyasova, and Jared Dudley. That's a great rotation. I guarantee you the Bucks will be one of the easts best either next season or the year after depending on fluke injuries and Larry Sanders' weed smoking habits.

Brad has some young talent but not nearly as much as Kidd does.

Lottery picks drafted by Bucks on Bucks roster - Parker (out for year) and Henson (missed 15is games and was the 14th pick so lottery but barely).  That's it.  Rotation players drafted by Bucks on Bucks roster - Antetokounmpo (15), Sanders (15), Ilysova (36).  That's it.  Other players drafted by Bucks on Bucks roster - O'Bryant (36).  That's it.

The rest of the main roster were drafted by other teams and does have some lottery picks - Martin (1), Mayo (3), Knight (8), Bayless (11), Marshall (13), Dudley (22), Wolters (38), Middleton (39), Pachulia (42), Gutierrez (un)

Marshall is out for the year and Kenyon Martin is currently hurt and not exactly in the rotation.

I think they have some solid under the radar vets that help them out in Mayo, Dudley, and Bayless.

They have some serious length defensively, and Knight is probably deserving of being an all star.
