Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Toronto Raptors

Is It Too Late Now To Say Jabari?

Going from the team’s leading performer for the night, not far behind in Giannis’ foot steps was Jabari Parker.

While the Bucks were without much help to just keep them afloat in the first half, Jabari was arguably the lone exception by providing some much needed offense.  Perhaps that was helped in large part by making sure to get him involved from the get go, but it worked out nonetheless for the 21-year old, who scored 17 points on nine shots in nearly his first 17 minutes.

Even as Giannis went into full on attack mode in the second half, Jabari remained steady playing as a complementary option in the Bucks comeback attempt. He hit a couple of big three-point makes and came away with a rip-roaring slam, although it was well after the game was out of reach.

All in all, Jabari coming away with one of his most efficient nights of the season on a high volume of shots as well was incredibly encouraging to see.  With that said, there wasn’t much more to his play as he merely added three rebounds, two assists and a steal in all of his 35 minutes.

But I guess beggars can’t be choosers and I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that this is something we’d all like to get used to as the year goes on, but just in winning results.
