Starters

B+. For the second game in a row, <a rel=. G. Milwaukee Bucks. MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA

TONY SNELL. B-. It might not have been the debut people were expecting from Snell, but he gets a bit of a pass here. It was his first game with the team and he’s not 100% healthy yet. He played in just 21 minutes, although some of that could be attributed to Rashad Vaughn having the hot hand. Still, it was positive to see how confidently Snell shot the ball. He was not scared to pop the open jumper, or even work in a quick isolation, which the team will greatly miss from <a rel=. G. Milwaukee Bucks

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A-. Through two games, it certainly seems like the hype behind Giannis Antetokounmpo entering his fourth season was correct. After a 31 points, nine rebounds performance in game one, he followed it up in this one with his first double-double of the season with 21 points and 11 rebounds. His ability to rebound is so important because of his work in transition, where he finished 1v4 on multiple occasions. His three assists are probably less than most people were expecting for this season, but the Bucks seem to be giving Delly lots of freedom as a ball handler, therefore taking some of the duties away from Giannis. While averaging 37 minutes per game through two games, it will be interesting to see how Giannis performs in the back-to-back and if his minutes are adjusted in any way.. G/F. Milwaukee Bucks

JABARI PARKER. C+. <a rel=. F. Milwaukee Bucks

In starting his second game of the year, Miles Plumlee was no better in this game. He was not only the worst center on the team, but the worst player as well. It will be interesting to see how long he holds his starting spot if he keeps up his current play. He only played eight minutes for the second straight game and looked dreadful when in the game. A stat line of two points, one assist, one rebound, one turnover, and two fouls in eight minutes is not a good sign moving forward. After signing that big contract in the offseason, he needs to pick up his production or fans will really start getting upset with that major expense. There is one positive from Plumlee’s play so far though: he can really only go up from here.. C. Milwaukee Bucks. MILES PLUMLEE. F
