The spinning, game-winning shot Monta Ellis dropped on the Houston Rockets on the night of Feb. 27 will no doubt be a featured scene when the Milwaukee Bucks put together their 2012-13 season highlight reel.
Though Ellis' shot would have been a great reward for Bucks faithful had it taken place at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, it may have created a safety hazard there. The trajectory of Ellis' shot was so high that it may have knocked icicles off the building's rafters onto the celebration below.
One could page through the annals of Bucks history and be hard-pressed to find a better candidate to have launched such a shot. Ellis needed all of his athleticism and improvisational skills to not only react quickly enough to get in position to receive the pass, but step away from the defense, pivot on a dime, vault himself high enough into the air to get the ball over 6-foot-9-inch Chandler Parsons and finally put enough touch on the shot to send it through the net.
If you were appointed head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks and could call upon any member of the Bucks' all-time roster (in his Bucks prime) to go one-on-one with a game on the line, have the explosiveness and/or guile to get himself a shot and possess the touch and the nerves of steel to make it, who would it be?
In the first installment of a series, "Truman's Twelve" presents half of the dozen players Truman Reed would draft to get the job done.
Which players would you choose?
