Ekpe Udoh
With a situation very similar to Ed Davis, Udoh has had plenty of difficulties in receiving the playing time he deserves. He was a lottery pick in his draft and hasn’t played like one yet, largely due to the inconsistency in his minutes.
Milwaukee has a great frontcourt with a lot of potential, they just need to mature. If John Henson and Larry Sanders can figure things out and Pachulia starts playing well, they won’t need Udoh on the roster.
Much like Davis, Udoh holds a lot of talent. He just doesn’t get the chance to show his improvements and show what he’s capable of. However, with the right team, coach and players, Udoh can be a valuable asset to a team.
Given that the Bucks are already invested in three big men, I find it hard to believe them matching any offers that are sent his way. It would be better for both sides if Udoh moves to another team. The Bucks don’t have the space or minutes to give Udoh and that is obvious.
