Starters

MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA. B+. 29 minutes/nine points/one rebound/nine assists <p>With another near double-double for Outback Jesus, this is now his eighth time tossing out at least eight assists in a game. On top of his passing, Delly limited his turnovers to just two. Dellavedova has never been the flashiest player, and this was just another very nice, albeit pedestrian performance for him.</p>. PG. Milwaukee Bucks

TONY SNELL. B-. 31 minutes/nine points/four rebounds/one assist <p>It is hard to say that Snell wasn’t good in this game, because he was. Snell is never going to bring an outstanding game or very many dull ones either, he is just very consistent. The Bucks can count on him to knock down a fair number of shots on a reasonably efficient clip, as well as committing very few turnovers and playing solid defense. And that is all he needs to do. He is not a high usage player, despite playing high volume minutes, and that only helps the rest of the team.</p>. SG. Milwaukee Bucks

39 minutes/30 points/14 rebounds/three assists/three steals/one block <p>What else can be said about this kid? He took the Bucks first national TV opportunity and blew the expectations for him out of the water. From the first possession of the game, in which he bombed a 30-foot three, he was locked in and ready to show every doubter that he is a superstar that is here and ready to represent Milwaukee as an athlete and a person. Sure, he didn’t have a triple-double, but he is still worthy of the A+ grade in this one.</p>. SF. Milwaukee Bucks. GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO. A+

Milwaukee Bucks. JABARI PARKER. A+. 35 minutes/28 points/five rebounds/three assists/two steals <p>Just like Giannis, Jabari Parker was outstanding in this game. The Bucks are not privileged to play many national TV games, and the “cornerstones” were everything in this one. For any casual fan wondering if the Bucks are a team to worry about in the next couple years, they witnessed the cornerstones drop 58 combined points at an average age of 21.5.</p> <p>Watch out NBA, because this highflying duo is here to stay. Oh, and don’t forget about <a rel=. PF

Milwaukee Bucks. JOHN HENSON. C+. 26 minutes/four points/10 rebounds/one assist/one steal/two blocks <p>Henson is not going to be a great scorer in every game, as is evident by his 2/7 shooting night against the Bulls, but that is far from detrimental to the team. As the starter, Henson provides a nice rim protecting presence, as he chipped in another two blocks in this battle, and also showed his weight around the rim with a double-digit rebounding performance that included six (!!!) on the offensive glass.</p>.
