Larry Sanders Sent Down

It's official. Scott Skiles really hates rookies. Brandon Jennings must specialize in sexual favors to be able to start right out of the gates let alone get more than garbage minutes like one Larry Sanders.

It seemed like, for a second there back in November-December that Sanders was going to be the Bucks back-up center and things were good. Lately, Larry hadn't been playing much and he was sent down to Fort Wayne of the NBA Developmental League over the All-Star Break.

I feel like he has great potential and the D-League is a good place to harness some of that potential with playing time, but I thought he could have gotten more up in the NBA. It's not like the Bucks are a top five team in the East or even currently in the playoff picture.

Instead Skiles would rather use the Brockness Monster (Jon Brockman) to give Bogut a blow and Brockman can barely make a layup and doesn't play defense rather just gets in their way.

We've lost more athleticism on an already stiff team. Even if Sanders was hampered by back spasms and other minor injuries he still has more athletic ability and shot blocking prowess in his pinky than Brockman has all over.
