Anthony performed well and had good things to say about the Bucks organization and the city of Milwaukee.
Q: If you were drafted by Milwaukee, how would your abilities fit in with the Bucks roster?
A: I think it would work out good because Yi is a great shooter and a versatile player. It’s the same with Bogut, he’s a great passer. I think I’d fit in well with those guys.
Q: The Bucks have lacked shot blocking in recent years, do you think a front line including Bogut, Yi and yourself could turn the club into a top shot blocking group?
A: If you ask anybody, I love blocking shots. That’s my thing. If you watch my college film, I get hyped up to block shots. That’s what I think I’m best at right now.
Q: How much time did you spend in Germany and have you gone back overseas?
A: I was there for about a year and a half, I haven’t been back overseas.
Q: You listed pool as one of your hobbies, would you be able to come in and be the top Bucks player straight out of the draft?
A: Oh no. I’m good on certain days, you know sometimes the ball bounces right on the pool table, but not always. It depends on the day.
Q: Are you sticking with Glen Davis and the Celtics in the finals or are you going with the Lakers?
A: You’re always pulling for one of your fellow alumni, but with the Lakers, Kobe is a best. He’s on a mission.
Bucks trivia: As a young player who was born overseas, can you tell us what foreign-born player was the youngest to play for the Bucks in the 2006-07 season? (Answer: Ersan Ilyasova)
