Milwaukee Bucks Player of the Week (Jan 1. – Jan 7.)
Week 11 was a pretty good one for the Milwaukee Bucks. They won two of their three games and looked solid along the way. Four Bucks played extremely well this week but there is only room for three in the PotW rankings.
The Milwaukee Bucks played three games against two different teams this week: one against the Oklahoma City Thunder and two against the New York Knicks. The standard of the Bucks’ opponents was higher than the average week in the NBA regular season.
But the Bucks prevailed, winning two of the three games. The team finished the week 18-17 in the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference. Through 35 games the Bucks positioned themselves nicely for a playoff appearance.
As the team matures and the young stars, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker, grow, the Bucks could find ways to improve and win an even better percentage of their upcoming games.

This week saw the best highlight of the Milwaukee Bucks’ season to date. The Greek Freak hit a buzzer-beater against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden. That will come up a bit later as we talk about Giannis in more detail in his section.
The big surprise in the player of the week rankings this week is that someone bumped Jabari from the number two spot. Through the first ten weeks of the season Parker had held the second spot eight times. Week 11 is bucking that trend.
Four players had strong weeks and all deserve some love, but only three can make the cut and get that distinguished face-time. There was an intense battle for third in the rankings. So let’s see who nabbed the last spot!
