Milwaukee Bucks Grades and Reactions to 109-100 Win Over the Brooklyn Nets

Milwaukee Bucks Grades: Bench

Miles Plumlee, B+

12 Points | 4-10 FG | 4-5 FT | 7 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK |

With the rest of the bench faltering it’s nice to have a guy like Plumlee coming in who you can rely on to be productive. Of his seven rebounds, five were on the offensive glass and he led the bench in scoring by a laughable margin. Hopefully Henson’s pending return won’t cost Plumlee too many minutes–he’s been too good lately.

His grade reflects not only his own anonymous performance, but that of the rest of the bench too. Remember of course, he’s just 19. so it makes sense for his production to be sporadic. Consistent production will have to wait until next season.

I like JOB–he’s the people’s hero. He’s easy to root for. But he hasn’t really been productive since Jason Kidd resumed coaching duties. When he gets decent looks at layups he shies away from contact and tends to either overlay or underlay.

Like Vaughn and JOB, Ennis’ grade reflects the hopeless bench as a group rather than just his individual performance–which wasn’t impressive. That’s a shame too, since he had two straight games where he flashed strong production from the bench.

Next: Jason Kidd
