Bucks hoping for defense
The hope is the return to health of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, who underwent right patella tendon surgery in May, and the additions on the front line will greatly improve the defense.
At power forward the Bucks can boast the return of 6-foot-10 Ersan Ilyasova, who finished second in the league's most improved player balloting; along with Drew Gooden and Ekpe Udoh. The 6-foot-10 Gooden had to slide over to the center spot when Bogut was injured and rarely played his true position last season.
Henson, the former North Carolina star, and 6-foot-11 Larry Sanders can play both power forward and center, depending on matchups. Second-year player Tobias Harris, at 6-feet-8-inches, will be at small forward and vying for increased playing time. And Dalembert and Przybilla are true centers.
