Bucks general manager John Hammond said adding size will be a priority during the offseason.

"You talk about the Brandon-Monta combination; it's an extremely young backcourt," Hammond said. "I think they're both willing passers, and they both also have the ability to score.

"Is the size a factor for us? Of course it is. It makes it difficult for Monta. If you're going to go with the old theory, one of the best ways to keep a great scorer occupied is to keep him occupied on the defensive end of the floor, wear him down defensively.

"He (Ellis) is a 20-point scorer at the 2 guard spot, but a lot of times he's guarding similar-type players and they're bigger than him. So if you look at the needs of our team, if there's an opportunity to get more size in the backcourt, that possibly could help us."

Scott Skiles also pointed to the Bucks’ small lineup.

"We need size everywhere," Skiles said. "Most games, right at the jump ball, when you look at the two teams, the other team is noticeably bigger than us at almost every position on the floor.

"It's just something that has to be addressed. The guys know it, too. They know we need to get bigger."

Scott Skiles has a meeting scheduled with owner Herb Kohl to discuss his future as head coach of the Bucks.

Brandon Jennings and Mike Dunleavy Jr. both spoke highly of Skiles on Friday.

Skiles signed a four-year, $16 million deal in 2008 and had the deal extended through the 12-13 season in October of 2010.

"Obviously he's a great coach," said Dunleavy. "I loved playing for him. He's a major reason I came here. I'd certainly be disappointed if he wasn't back, for whatever reason.

"You've got to move forward and expect us to have a great season next year."

Jennings said he was concerned about the possibility Skiles would not be back next season.

"Personally, for me, yes," Jennings said. "Just the fact that he's been my coach for the first three years and I'm used to a system. That's a guy who I've played for.

"Just his mentality, his will and approach to the game. The fact he expects you to play hard every night. He expects you to do the little things to be a better player. That's kind of grown on me since I've been here, so that's basically all I know."

The Bucks have posted a 146-166 record in four seasons under Skiles.
