Tyler Ennis was traded halfway through his rookie season, going from Phoenix to Milwaukee. Nik Staukas was shipped from Sacramento to Philadelphia just over a year after being drafted in the lottery. Ennis, 21, and Stauskas, 22, both learned quickly how unpredictable life in the NBA can be.
The transitions haven't been all that smooth, either. Ennis has battled injuries, Stauskas is struggling with his shot, and their team's aren't doing much winning. The Bucks are last in the Central divison at 10-16 while the Sixers are a league-worst 1-25.
“It’s been tough,” Ennis said last Friday in Toronto before the Bucks played the Raptors.
