Bucks will work out top forward prospects

ORLANDO, Fla. – In an interview with The Journal Times three weeks ago, new Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond said it was his desire to shore up the small forward position.

 

Hammond will seriously begin addressing that situation soon. At Friday’s NBA pre-draft camp, two of the best small forwards in the June NBA draft – Donte Greene of Syracuse and Joe Alexander of West Virginia – both confirmed they’ll be working out for the Bucks on June 8.

 

Greene entered the draft after playing one season at Syracuse, where he averaged 17.7 points (fourth in the Big East) and 7.2 rebounds (second in the Big East) a game.

 

Greene, who was measured at the camp on Friday at 6-9 ½ with shoes and 6-9 without shoes, is projected to be chosen anywhere between the seventh and 14th picks. The Bucks have the eighth overall selection.

 

Milwaukee will be my first workout,’’ Greene said. “I’m pretty excited about it. I’m looking forward to showing people what I can do.’’

 

Greene, who earned all-Big East Conference second-team honors, is an explosive scorer with excellent range. He said he’s tried to pattern his game after two NBA standouts.

 

“It’s a little bit of Tracy McGrady and a little bit of Rashard Lewis,’’ said Greene, who was born in Munich, Germany and moved to the United States when he was three.

 

Alexander was also born in a foreign country, Taiwan, and has lived in various places. From age 10 to 16, Alexander and his family lived in Beijing, China, where he learned to speak Mandarin.

 

Alexander said he would welcome the opportunity to join the Bucks and converse in Mandarin with power forward Yi Jianlian, who hails from China.

 

“Yi and I would be tight,’’ Alexander said.

 

Alexander played three seasons at West Virginia and steadily improved each season. He averaged 16.9 points and 6.3 rebounds as a junior and has seen his draft stock soar.

 

Once considered a mid-to-late first-round pick, some NBA officials now project Alexander being a lottery selection.

 

Alexander, who shot 47 percent from the field last season, struggled with his perimeter shooting during drills Friday in front of a cordon of NBA general managers, coaches and player personnel people.

 

But Alexander also showed there are few more athletic players in the draft by exhibiting his remarkable leaping ability with several highlight film dunks.

 

Alexander, who was measured at 6-9 with shoes and 6-8 without shoes, will also work out for the New York Knicks, who have the sixth overall pick.

 

Besides becoming a teammate of Yi’s, Alexander said he would like playing for Bucks coach Scott Skiles. Alexander played for Bobby Huggins at West Virginia and credited the hard-driving Huggins for his development.

 

“I love playing for demanding coaches; I think I thrive under them because they bring the best out of me,’’ said Alexander who then smiled and said, “Go tell Scott Skiles that I want to play for him.’’

 

 

Butch finishes on high note

 

Wisconsin power forward Brian Butch played well in his final game, finishing with 10 points and five rebounds in 21 minutes.

 

While Butch struggled with his shooting in the previous two games, he said he was generally pleased by his showing.

 

“I wish I would have made more shots but, overall, I thought things went pretty well,’’ said Butch, who was measured at 6-11 in shoes and 6-10 out of them.

 

Butch, who led his Appleton West High School team to the state championship game his senior season and played a key role in helping Wisconsin become one of the best teams in the nation the last two years, helped his camp team go 3-0.

 

“That’s all I care about: winning,’’ said Butch, an all-Big Ten Conference first-team selection as a senior. “That’s what I’ve been all about and will continue to be all about.’’

 

Butch, by the way, is also one of the smartest players in the draft. He earned his master’s degree in life sciences communication from Wisconsin, getting an “A’’ in all five of the courses he took last semester.

Bucks' pick anyone's guess

There is no consensus or clarity among National Basketball Association mock-draft meisters about which player the Milwaukee Bucks will take later this month when it comes time for them to choose at No. 8 overall.

Of course, mock drafts are just recreational guessing at this point, but the number of names suggests a seriously scrambled picture for the Bucks.

That's assuming general manager John Hammond decides to keep the pick and not use it in a trade to move out, move up or move down.

A survey of the most recent mock drafts - we found 13 of them - shows there are seven players slotted for the Bucks at No. 8.

There's a flavor player for all five positions on the floor, suggesting the Bucks have needs up and down their roster.

The choosers and the choices look like this:

• CollegeHoops.net: 6-foot-9 small forward Danilo Gallinari of Italy

• Inside Hoops: 6-9 UCLA power forward / center Kevin Love

• NBC Sports: 6-8 West Virginia small forward Joe Alexander

• RealGM: 7-0 Texas A&M center DeAndre Jordan

• Chad Ford, ESPN Insider: 6-3 UCLA point / shooting guard Russell Westbrook

• Fran Fraschilla, ESPN Insider: 6-11 LSU power forward Anthony Randolph

• SI.com: 6-3 Indiana shooting guard Eric Gordon

• DraftExpress: Gallinari

• HoopsWorld: Gallinari

• ProBasketballNews: Jordan

• Tony Mejia, Pro Basketball News: Love

• FoxSports.com: Gordon

• Sportingnews.com: Gordon

If you totaled the numbers for each player, Gallinari and Gordon were named three times, while Love and Jordan were next with two choices each.

Take Love. This would give the Bucks the starting front line of Bogut at center, Love at PF and Yi at SF. A young group that I think could play together and could mature into one of the better front courts in basketball.
