AM: Bucks fans obviously have a lot of mixed feelings about Scott Skiles as a coach. What have you liked and what have you disliked about what he has done in Orlando so far?
BDR: Scott Skiles is unafraid to challenge his team. He has sat the starters during crunch time twice this season and there always seems to be at least one bench player earning his way into crunch time.
Aaron Gordon has been the biggest beneficiary as the team’s best defender. What hurts is his experience and he is prone to making some pretty bad mistakes.
Even so, Skiles has not hesitated to shake it up, and he will bench a player if the defense is lacking. That toughness is something Orlando lacked the last three seasons and a big reason why only 67 wins were produced in three seasons.
