Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Win Over Brooklyn Nets

Schlotzky’s Delly

From one starter to another, let’s turn our attention to everyone’s favorite Australian, one Matthew Dellavedova (if you were expecting to see a middle name there, I’m sorry to disappoint).

Outside of Giannis, I’m not sure anyone else gave the Bucks the shot in the arm they needed, during some critical times, more than Delly did last night against the Nets.

Even without any three-point makes on the night, Delly was as effective as he’s been scoring the ball, primarily probing the paint and using his patented floater to finish for the score. With a perfect night from the line (six-for-six) to go along with his makes from the field, Delly finished with 18 points for the contest.

As has been the case for most of the year, Delly’s steady playmaking was on display as he regularly connected with either open shooters or players cutting to the lane for the score.  Additionally, he only finished with 1 turnover on the night.

In total, Delly handed out 6 assists and finished with a +15 to go along with his high scoring game in his near 27 minutes. It’s still early in his tenure, but we can safely say that this game was the best we’ve seen of Delly in a Bucks uniform so far.
