Must show that his ankle injury is not a lingering problem... Weak Physically, must develop more strength ... Notes: Had an issue with his age, there is a real chance he is actually 1984 born ... NBA scouts went absolutely gaga over him playing for the Turkish U18 team during the summer...</div> I think this guy is a complete stud, he's rarely talked about among Bucks fans but considering his size and skills I think in a couple years he can be a solid contributer.
According to the program heard on 1150 am MIlwaukee NBA Hoops Show with Larry Harris he told the listernes that Illyasova will play some minutes next year.So count him on the roster when they resume next fall.
All depends on if we get a decent backup or not but thats good, who knows how old Ersan really is but he definatly needs to get on the court and figure things out...and looking at Bobby Simmons maybe giving Ersan some minutes isn't such a bad idea.

Can go left or right, can shoot the three, and has nice size.If his ankle holds up, which it should, he is going to be a nice addition. Hit game winner as time expired against Cavs in preseason game last year.
NOTE TO BUCK: DONT DRAFT EUROPEANS THEY TAKE TO LONG TO DEVELOPE and IN THE END COME OFF THE BENCH BECAUSE THE GAME IS TO FAST FOR THEM...sorry about caps i just hate european development
Ersan Ilyasova will be very good in time, I agree, I would much prefer us drafting players from college instead of dumping European goons overseas for years.
