Milwaukee Bucks: 5 Key Takeaways From Summer League

The Milwaukee Bucks are finished at Summer League for another year, but what did we learn from the experience?

Although the results may not have played out quite as they’d have hoped for, the Milwaukee Bucks will have picked up some interesting lessons from the five games they played at Las Vegas Summer League.

Always a cause of great excitement among fans as the first real opportunity to see the league’s top draft picks on the floor, the quality isn’t always ideal for viewers but Summer League has it’s own unique and quirky appeal.

With all three of Milwaukee’s picks from the past two NBA drafts in action this year, there were certainly plenty of reasons for Bucks fans to hang in and watch closely.
