Milwaukee Bucks Grades: Bench

John Henson

0 Points | 0-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK |

Wait a minute…he played? It sure didn’t look like it watching the game–he was completely invisible in the nine minutes that Prunty gave him. If his pattern holds firm he should be in line for a big game vs. the Bulls. He certainly didn’t bother showing up vs. the Knicks.


Tyler Ennis

0 Points | 0-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK |

It’s hard to knock a kid who plays sporadic minutes to come in and make an impact. In a rare first quarter look, Ennis showed no fear taking an open three pointer. He missed the shot (as well as the other four he attempted throughout the game), but at least he’s confident enough to let it fly.


Rashad Vaughn

10 Points | 3-6 FG | 2-3 FT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK |

Well well well, maybe we have something here after all. For the first time in his career Vaughn was given starter’s minutes (29) and responded with his first double-digit scoring performance. He wasn’t great defensively, but demonstrated a potentially dangerous three point shot. His ability to make that shot will make or break his NBA career.


Johnny O’Bryant

JOB doesn’t sleep…he waits. He certainly didn’t fall asleep on a first half play that saw the ball careen off the rim and two players before ending up in his arms on the baseline. The result was a money mid-range make. Classic JOB.
