Milwaukee Bucks Grades & Reactions From 109-108 Win Over the Philadelphia 76ers
Milwaukee Bucks Grades: Starters
, C
4 Points | 2-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 4 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK |
Ennis played a whopping 39 minutes, but was silent as shadows with his huge minutes offering. He has the reputation of being a capable three-point shooter, but has struggled lately–shooting 0-4 in the last four contests. He was 0-2 against Philly.
Khris Middleton, A+
36 Points| 14-24 FG | 7-7 FT | 6 REB | 9 AST | 4 STL | 0 BLK |
Middleton was unstoppable Sunday night in Philadelphia. He tied a career-high 36 points (with relative ease, mind you) and was able to fill up other areas of the stat sheet as well with nine assists and six rebounds. The only thing he did not-so-well was secure the ball. His six turnovers led the Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, A
14 Points | 4-15 FG | 5-6 FT | 9 REB | 7 AST | 3 STL | 5 BLK |
His shooting suffered a little bit–he wasn’t able to get the slam dunk looks at the rim that he normally does. But he was golden everywhere else. We tend to freak out about stats in the business, but just take a gander at Giannis’ stat-line. Wow. Is there any doubt he’s an All-Star next season?
, B+
15 Points | 6-10 FG | 1-1 FT | 6 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK
He was 2-2 from three! I repeat: Jabari Parker shot 2-2 from three-point range! Clearly I’m excited about that development more than any other area of his game. If he can get that shot to fall at say a 32.5% clip (he’s 28.1% this year) this Bucks offense is going to terrorize the league with its versatility. I can’t wait to find out if he can do it.
, A
8 Points| 4-7 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK |
Plumlee continues to be the best bet in the starting five on nights where Monroe isn’t available. Imagine that. The value of a relative no-name who came along in the Knight deal has grown to the point where he can start and give solid minutes.
