How can Milwaukee Bucks’ Andrew Bogut and Brandon Jennings become the deadliest duo in NBA?
If the immensely talented Brandon Jennings and centre Andrew Bogut perform up to their full potential, Milwaukee Bucks can outclass the strongest of oppositions in NBA. Scott Skiles, the head coach of Milwaukee Bucks is fortunate
to have two of the most talented stars playing at the most crucial positions – centre and point guard.
Only few teams in NBA are blessed with two strong players at these positions, but in order to prove that they are the ones for the future, the duo has to concentrate on few things;
Improve Chemistry
The two giants from Bucks have totally different personalities. Jennings is a flamboyant, hot-blooded young guy whereas Bogut is a giant with colossal stature but calm and unflashy from the inside.
Both are occasionally spotted giving high fives in the court but still the bonding level is not that intense. Chemistry is a huge component of any team’s success. Most of the players in football for example, have a better record
playing for their club team than playing for their national team. The reason behind it is the chemistry that develops between players, playing together through most part of the year.
Any Buck fan would know that their team is often on different page. Both Andrew and Jennings need to spend some time together off court to develop some bonding because they are never seen anywhere together in off season. They need
to know each other better. This would help both in understanding each other’s style of play and they would know on court what the other one is thinking.
Pick and Roll
Last season, at numerous times, Bucks would clumsily go for a decent shot only to accommodate for debatable shot by the player who should not have been taking it in the first place.
The pick and roll can prove to be priceless for Bucks. It creates confusion in the mind of defenders leading to easy spaces in the field, making it easy for any player in the team to score. Pick and roll would force opponents defense
to either stay home or come forward. If they stay home, Bucks have guys in team who can penetrate and create space for the duo.
Pick and Roll will not only help Andrew and Jennings but will increase the opportunities to score for the players around them.
Improve the Jumpers:
No doubt about the skills of Andrew and Jennings but unfortunately both have an obvious chasm in their game. When it comes to mid range jumpers, both look very ordinary. Playing as the center, Andrew gets a lot of opportunities
for jump-shots during the game but his opponents don’t see his jumpers as a considerable threat and stay home to defend it.
If Andrews spends some extra time in gym training jumpers, this will give Bucks a prominent edge and will ease the pressure on other players too.
Jennings as compared to Andrew is better at jump-shooting. His agility gives him an extra edge over Andrew and his quick movement can tremble the strongest of defenses.
Jennings speed allows him to get open shots at will. If Jennings improves his jump-shots slightly more, he can be a nightmare for the opponents
Andrew and Jennings are stars of future. Only need to work on these three aspects and if they succeed in it, Milwaukee will emerge as one of the strongest forces in NBA
