Sharing the Ball


Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles has put an emphasis on ball movement during training camp:
"We put a lot of emphasis on moving the ball," Skiles said. "If you get into a playoff series against a really good ballclub, and in the regular season as well, you've got to move the ball, strong to weak. The guys right now are good at it. They're really playing unselfishly, looking for the open man and hitting the open man."
Carlos Delfino, who was accquired by the Bucks during the offseason, has always been known as a great passer:
"When you share the ball and you're pushing the ball without dribbling, it creates a great up-tempo game. We have many guys who can do that, and for me, it's great basketball.
We understand sharing the ball makes the team grow. As long as we continue to understand that, we have a chance to be a very good passing team. "
"Push the ball, not dribble. It's nice to watch. It's faster and everybody is involved on the plays. When you catch or make a good pass, it creates a good atmosphere. You're talking about creating shots for everyone."
