The Milwaukee Bucks lacked leadership and cohesive team chemistry, coach Scott Skiles said Saturday.

“It’s fair to say we did not have good leadership on our team this year,” Skiles said.  “But that’s something you can’t manufacture. You can’t just say that guy is a leader.

“I guarantee you’d be shocked in all pro sports, when you’re on the inside of something like this and you know the league and players and coaches, and somebody in the media will say, ‘That guy’s the leader of that team’. Often times, it’s so far from the truth that it’s ridiculous.

“You can’t manufacture that. It just naturally happens. Some people are just natural leaders. Other people can cultivate it some themselves. And then you need both. If you have good leadership on the team you also need guys that will follow the leader. Chemistry and all those things are very fragile things.”

The Bucks aren’t sure yet if Brandon Jennings, who just completed his second season in the league, is capable of providing that leadership.
