Tuesday Bucks Notes

SG: See, these are the moments when it's a bummer that my Bucks' campaign never got going. I could have put this on my platform and everything: "Promise No. 27 -- we're going to draft Kevin Love and make him wear No. 69." With the Love/69 gimmick, his Color Me Badd beard and his dumpy physique, K-Love would have had every female's heart in Milwaukee fluttering. They wouldn't know whether they'd want to cheer him, make out with him or cook him a brat. Now we'll never know. But seriously, Milwaukee, enjoy Doug Collins, Billy King or Keenan Ivory Paxson as your next GM. Best of luck with that.

Suns Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin went to Milwaukee on Monday to talk to Bucks officials about their vacant general manager job but has let Milwaukee know that he is leaning toward remaining with the Suns. Griffin was a candidate for the Memphis GM job last year but pulled his name out.

RealGM's paulpressey25 notes that on the post-game show over the weekend, Woelfel alluded to the Bucks bringing in an established GM for an interview this week, but didn't give a name.

• Thanks to Brett at Queen City Hoops, who hosts an entertaining Round 10 of the Blogger MVP/ROY Rankings. Who knows if the writers who vote for the award will agree, but with only a couple weeks left in the regular season, neither Kobe Bryant nor LeBron James tops the bloggers' MVP list. Here's the ballot I submitted:

  MVP 1: Chris Paul 2: LeBron James 3: Kobe Bryant 4: Kevin Garnett 5: Dwight Howard 6: Tim Duncan 7: Steve Nash 8: Dirk Nowitzki 9: Deron Williams 10: Amare Stoudemire
  ROY 1: Kevin Durant 2: Al Horford 3: Luis Scola 4: Carl Landry 5: Jamario Moon

• The Bucks are ahead of the Knicks... and, well, no else in Marc Stein's Power Rankings at ESPN.com.
• John Hollinger's formula has the Bucks ranked 26th.
• It's never good when you have to click through three pages and still scroll down to find your team in Marty Burns' SI.com Power Rankings, but that's where you'll find the 27th ranked Bucks. The good news for you is we already did all the work so you don't have to. The bad news is the Bucks aren't very good.

Sessions is only shooting a pretty typical 36%, but he has been doing a nice job of limiting his shots. This has kept him off of the line, but has also kept his low percentage from hurting the team (better you shoot 2-6 with 8 assists than 6-18 with nine assists). While he is doing a great job so far, I wonder what would happen should he go back to his old ways.

• There is only one player in the NBA making a better percentage of two-point jump shots than Mo Williams, who converts 50.8 %.
• Michael Redd is producing 42.7 points per 48 minutes in clutch time, defined as "4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points." That places him 5th in the NBA, but he's shooting a weak 39.5 % from the field in that same clutch time.
• Bobby Simmons ranks 10th in field goal percentage in clutch time, at 58.3 %. Yi Jianlian is 12th at 57.9 %.
