Milwaukee Bucks Grades: Bench

Jerryd Bayless, D

0 Points | 0-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 3 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK |

Car crash TV. Bayless was absolutely terrible. Didn’t make a single shot and posted easily the worst plus/minus of any player in the game at -13. The Bucks bench is being stretched to its limits so there aren’t very many alternatives, but on a night like this anything would have been better than what Bayless brought.


Rashad Vaughn

, B+

8 Points | 3-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK |

Vaughn can make a mark on games which is more than can be said for many of his teammates. That pair of three-pointers and Vaughn’s confidence in owning the moment with his celebrations could prove to be significant in his development. Sure, it’s been rough at times, but that’s evidence of why it’s worth everyone’s while to see Vaughn keep shooting.


Tyler Ennis

, C-

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

I’m really not sure if he has anything to offer. It’s hard to feel that he looks like anything more than a passenger when he enters the game, and as a point guard if you can’t seize control of a team that’s not a good sign.


Miles Plumlee, B

8 Points | 4-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK |

As he has done on a number of occasions this season, Plumlee continued to prove himself as an able deputy for John Henson. He was active when he got in the game and that’s half the battle as a backup big man.
