Nice to see the two only Dutchmen on one team
I have to agree with Novio Magus.. They’re not the best low-post scorers but they can out-run the other centers easily.
Look for a fast-paces Milwaukee Bucks next season.

Go Dutchmen!

you guys are crazy if you think this guy is going to enable the bucks to make the playoffs, if they do its going to be the growth of their young core. I don’t think their floor general m williams is trying to stick around and without him they’re fucked…

Elson is going to be a decent backup center but as a Bucks fan who has watched Gadzuric for the past few seasons, it is easy to see that he is not a factor at all. Elson will actually get some good minutes with the Bucks not having an impactful Power forward. I’d like to see a “twin towers” like move with Bogut at center, Elson at PF, Jefferson at SF, Redd at SG, and Williams at PG. That leaves room for Villanueva to come off the bench for some scoring. Good luck Elson.

As a fellow dutchman I can say Elson isnt the bucks answer for a low post scorer next to bogut but he can rebound and run the floor well. Like most European centers he has a nice 18 ft jumper so he can face up. The best way the Bucks can use their Double Dutch is to run, run and run again. I doubt that you will find 2 faster centers in the NBA.

Elson is a good player and good rebounder he can hold a player white on rice but elson needs to improve his scoring ablity and he’ll be great for the bucks

This is a guy that did his thing for spurs and hoping that he can do it for the bucks elson has to inprove on his scoring but its there.

Funny,

2 years ago (Elson was still a Spur), he was asked about the other Dutchman in the NBA, he replied: Yeah, but I don’t know him, doesn’t matter, he plays on a crappy team…
The Bucks are a lot better now, but it’s still kinda ironic.

2 dutch players on the same team that would be great not only fransisco but dan gadzuric has way more potential then you think.
if you look dan gadzuric rebounds per 48 min in the past he was one
of the best. both can run on the fast break set screens and play the pick and roll. the dont have much of a low post game but the wil run other centers crazy, both are extremely athletic and the key is not
there ballhandeling skills but there energy could give you some great
block, rebound, fast breakpoints so the crowd gets into it!! milwaukee could have a legit playoff team now..we”ll see…
