Last year, Ilyasova averaged 11.5 points per game, with 5 rebounds, in about 28 minutes. In 2014-2015, he shot 47 percent from the field, and 38 percent from beyond the arc.
The move could be in preparation for a departing Greg Monroe, who is a free agent, and not expected to return. Ilyasova could fill the void at power forward.
Ersan Ilyasova was a 2nd round pick by the Bucks in 2005. He is from Turkey, standing 6' 10", 235 lbs.
