Bucks guard Michael Redd says that the team needs to gel quickly as they enter training camp.

"I'm anxious to see how we do in preseason," Redd told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "We've got to develop chemistry quick, in training camp and preseason."

The Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the Spurs and lost Charlie Villanueva (Detroit) and Ramon Sessions (Timberwolves) via free agency.

"We just need guys to step up and play minutes they normally would not have played," Redd added. "We're very young. It will be interesting to see how we turn out."

Rookie guards Brandon Jennings and Jodie Meeks figure to play a significant role this season.
