CENTRAL DIVISION continued...
BUCKS
Milwaukee Bucks first round pick Yi Jilian almost held out all off-season because he wanted to be on a team in a bigger and better city. Well maybe Milwaukee should have granted him that wish. What was believd as maybe the next Asian born basketball prodigy, Yi Jilian has turned into a difficult project. Great gaurd play from point Mo williams and rifle-man Michael Redd will carry the Bucks for but so long. They need productive bench play from forwards Desmond Mason and Charlie bell and need their bigs Andrew Bogut and Charlie Villanueva, AKA Mr. Albino, to be consistent all season.
PACERS
Who knows if All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal is still happy in Indiana, but what we do know is he isn't a Laker or a Celtic...he is still a Pacer. With his name in numerous trade talks this past off-season Jermaine has to try and stay healthy and focused for Indy to be successful this year. The point gaurd position will be a crucial peice to this puzzle because there is no real noteable backup to often injured (and sometimes looks drunk on the court) Jammal Tinsley. The Pacers seem young and talented at the forward posititon with Danny Granger but needs sometype of ressurection to Troy Murphy and Mike Dunleavy's careers. Jeff Foster and David Harrison will be the only consistancy in the middle.
