Determining the Value of the Young (and Old) Bucks

1s – Worth a second round pick..maybe

15. Kenyon Martin

Kenyon Martin is..old. In fact, he’s one of the 10 oldest players in the Association still getting minutes along with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and some other players who surprisingly aren’t Spurs. The difference between Martin and most of the his fellow elder statesmen at this late stage in their careers is their production.

This season in the 7 games Martin has played with Milwaukee, he has averaged 1.1 points and .9 rebounds. Not exactly a guy who the other 29 teams are clamoring to get their hands on, especially considering his Player Efficiency Rating of 4.17 (the league average PER is 15).

14. Johnny O’Bryant III

O’Bryant (or JOB) will have trouble keeping his job if he continues his pace this season. To be fair O’Bryant was taken late in the second round of last season’s draft, meaning that he really wasn’t expected to be starting games halfway through his rookie season. But these are the injury-plagued 2015 Bucks, and at this point every player on the roster will end up with minutes.

Unfortunately for JOB, he hasn’t done much of anything with his 15 starts this season. O’Bryant is averaging 3.9 points and 1.7 rebounds per game and has missed 8 of his 17 free throws, good for 53% FT shooting. Granted JOB is only seeing just over 12 minutes per game even though he often starts for Milwaukee, but those numbers are still far too low.

He could eventually improve and is signed to a cheap 3 year deal, saving him from the 15th spot on the list.

13. Damien Inglis

There honestly isn’t much to write about why Inglis is one of the least-valuable players on the Bucks roster right now-he has never played in the NBA and will not play until at least next season due to a foot fracture that has yet to heal.

The only possible way Inglis could be moved is for pure salary cap relief to another team, but even that’s highly unlikely because the Bucks probably want to see what they have in Inglis before they move him. Inglis comes in higher than K-Mart and JOB because he could turn out to be very good, we just don’t know yet.

Now let’s see who has some value, but not a whole lot.
