The Bucks’ despicable season compounded by some nagging ankle and back injuries have obviously taken a toll on Ilyasova.

That’s vividly reflected in his 3-point shooting. Considered one of the best shooting stretch 4s in the game, Ilyasova is shooting a feeble 29 percent from 3-point range.

For the 2011-12 season, Ilyasova shot a scorching 46 percent from 3-point range, second best in the NBA. Last season, he shot 44 percent from beyond the arc, fourth best in the league.

“It’s really frustrating,” Ilyasova said. “I was coming from overseas and playing in the European Championships for Turkey, but then I started training camp with a new team, with new coaches.

“Then, in the first preseason game, I hurt my ankle. The season started for me, like off balance. If you miss part of training camp with a new team and new coaches, you find yourself a little behind, learning new plays and trying to find the right chemistry.”

The Bucks are still searching for that elusive chemistry. The scuttlebutt around the league is they are poised to make more trades with virtually everyone on their roster available.
