Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways From Loss To Cleveland Cavaliers

Humble Moses

With Giannis and Jabari leading the way, the Bucks were searching for anyone to join them to give the team a spark.  Most wound up not answering that call, but a lone exception, however, was Malcolm Brogdon.

Brogdon continued to add to his steady rookie campaign last night and provided solid minutes primarily playing from the point guard position off the bench (Brogdon did share time with Delly at one point in the third quarter).

Whether it was scoring, playmaking or being a factor defensively, Brogdon did a bit of everything for the Bucks as he has for the majority of the season.  As a result, it’s hard to pick one area that stood out, but this play shows exactly how Brogdon plays under such control, even if it looked like it might have spiralled out of that at one point.

In total, scoring 11 points, hauling in five boards, dishing out seven assists and grabbing three steals was all in a day’s work for the now 24-year old. The jack of all trades, master of none approach Brogdon displays on a nightly basis couldn’t suit the Bucks better and it’s certainly been a refreshing change, considering how depleted the Bucks were of key bench contributors last year.

It might not have come in a win, but Brogdon’s performance last night further reinforced how much of a gem the Bucks found early in the second round of the draft just six months ago.
