Now that 82games.com has released their first batch of "Production by Position" data for the 2009-10 season, I am able to calculate player information for teams other than the Milwaukee Bucks .A My first chart tracks the Win Contributions made by ex- Bucks on their new teams.

An NBA Draft that saw a classic big man taken as the first overall selection -- no surprise there -- is gradually being shaped by a handful of smaller guys who intend to make a point.

Two of the top rookie point guards meet in the Twin Cities Friday as the Minnesota Timberwolves hope to put the brakes on a four-game skid when they host the Milwaukee Bucks at Target Center.

Pretty much all of the preseason fantasy hype for rookie point guards went to Tyreke Evans and Jonny Flynn , but people seemed to sleep a bit on Brandon Jennings .

Brandon Roy got a max deal. LaMarcus Aldridge landed a sweet $65 million dollar extension.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Redd suffered a strained left patella tendon in Saturday's 96-85 victory over Detroit, and will miss at least the next two weeks of action.

When new Timberwolves boss David Kahn unexpectedly selected Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn with consecutive picks in last summer's NBA draft, he did so professing the two could, and would, play together some in the backcourt.

Maybe if Yi Jianlian knew that Milwaukee was headed toward a League of Nations configuration, he wouldn't have pushed so hard to get traded to that global and cultural crossroads known as East Rutherford, N.J. From Andrew Bogut and Carlos Delfino to Roko Ukic and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute , the Bucks are an international melting pot -- sort of a ...

Ramon Sessions struggled in his return to Milwaukee. The Timberwolves points guard went 0-for-4 from the field and finished with just two points in 21 minutes in a 101-87 loss to the Bucks on Saturday night.

Ben Gordon scored 24 points to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 113-104 preseason victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night.
