"PKO BALL is a much faster
game than college ball," he said.
He said this is because of the 24second
clock. "There are more
games in proball than in college.
You have to play against good
players every night. There is also

is better," he said. "In the pros I
you are paid 10 play."
Winters said he did not know how
well the Bucks would do this year.
He said that winning half of their
games would be a realistic goal.
English said his role with the
Bucks is basically the role of a
sixth man. "My job is to suark the
learn in rebounding and scoring,"
he said. English has been playing *

"I really like playing with ;

a lot of talent. "It will be difficult
to repeat as NBA champions,
though. The other teams will be
prepared for us."
