I'm excited to see Koufos and Diebler, as well. I haven't seen this current team play yet.

Head Coach
Diebler to me looks to be struggling to find shooting opportunities...
What I mean by this, is when he was in high school he did most of his shooting off the dribble, as he had the ball all the time, he brought it up the floor...Now he is playing off the ball, and having other people create for him...Not saying we don't have people that can create, but I just think that it is going him a while to get use to playing off the ball...He will be fine by the end of this month I do believe tho, as he is a very basketball savy player.
As for KK I think he is going to need to adjust to playing against guys that are stronger than him, but I do believe that he is going to be a great player by midseason...He really showed me something against Findlay when he started to take over that game...
Also one thing I hope to start seeing is these guys mesh together, know who is hot, where the open shots are going to be...Basically we have the talent to create a lot of mismatches, and when we create them we should get lots of open looks...Alot of this is on Butler and his role as the PG...

If these guys don't take it to these guys after getting embarressed last week, I'll be very surprised and disappointed. These young Bucks have a lot to work on.
I'm interested to see if we change the lineup a little tonight. At this point, we have 4 starters, but we're still probably a few games away from finding that 5th one...

I don't know...I feel pretty solid about Butler, Lighty, Hunter, KK & Diebler as starters.
With so much youth on this year's team ther's obviously going to be lots of guys playing, but I like that group a lot as our starting 5.

major key to the game: the team who scores more points will win the game...
