Perfection

Malcom Brogdon is something else. The “rookie” was perfect from the field on Friday night, making seven-of-seven shots including three three-point attempts. Brogdon is only the fourth NBA player to have a perfect game this season, joining Ian Clark, Rudy Gobert and Taj Gibson.

Brogdon has established himself as the best pick in his draft class thus far, and he’d be the runaway Rookie of the Year favorite were it not for Joel Embiid single-handedly saving The Process in Philadelphia.

In addition to his flawless 17 points, Brogdon also added seven assists, three rebounds and two steals. Is there a chance that Brogdon is already the best non-Khris Middleton guard on the Bucks roster? I think there is.

Milwaukee needs him to run the second unit offense, but if Brogdon continues to be this damn good Jason Kidd might have to finesse him into the starting five more, or at least into the closing five more. This dude has been even better than expected, and he had high expectations for a second-round pick!
