8PM, Bucks v. Bulls. Not sure if it's on NBA TV...but might wanna check it out.

Good luck Landlord!
 
Larry doing pretty well in his NBA preseason debut with Milwaukee going against the Chicago Bulls.

7 points on 3-5 shooting (1-2 FT), 2 boards, and a blocked shot in 14:34 of playing time. He was +8 while on the floor. It's 88-83 Bucks with 23 seconds left and it looks like they are going to get the win. Good for Larry!

Check out this NBA.com video of first-half highlights. Larry is the first bucket in this video. He looks good taking it strong to the bucket past Joakim Noah for the score!

Bucks coach Scott Skiles said he wanted rookie Larry Sanders to get a good run in the first exhibition game.

The Bucks' first-round draft choice came off the bench with 8:25 left in the first quarter and immediately got into the action, scoring five points in the quarter as the Bucks opened their pre-season slate Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls.

The Bucks held a 10-point lead midway through the second quarter before the Bulls rallied behind point guard Derrick Rose and forward Luol Deng. Milwaukee led at halftime, 42-39.

Sanders had seven points and two rebounds in 10 minutes in the half, while forward Drew Gooden led the Bucks with 10 points.
 
The best part is...

Larry Sanders' 7 points in 14 minutes > Brandon Jennings' 0 points in 18 minutes
 
Skiles obviously letting his two best players get eased into action ;)
 
From ESPN:

Larry Sanders, the team's first-round draft pick, finished with seven points, two rebounds and three fouls in just under 15 minutes.

"Guys are a lot bigger and stronger at every position," he said. "All the training I did this summer and being in Milwaukee helped me take an extra step toward getting ready for that physicality."
