Milwaukee Bucks: Player Grades From 112-96 Loss To Orlando Magic

C. Milwaukee Bucks. GREG MONROE. D. Another horrid performance from Greg Monroe who looks like a markedly lesser player over the past couple of weeks. With Dellavedova struggling, Monroe looks to be crying out for any sort of creativity around him in the second unit and without it he’s all too predictable. This performance included a catalog of missed layups that were egregious even by Monroe’s standards. His plus-minus of -28 in just 14 minutes tells the whole story of how Moose impacted this game.

F. This is about as bad as it gets for Delly, or at least the Bucks will have to hope it is. Having struggled horribly to find any semblance of his game since coming back from injury, Dellavedova isn’t finding himself out there with the kind of groups that are going to minimize his influence and allow him to rebuild confidence and sharpness. The result is a game like this one, where mired in the second unit as one of that group’s leaders, Delly goes 0-4 from the field and fails to contribute even a single assist.. G. Milwaukee Bucks. MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA

MICHAEL BEASLEY. C-. Beasley entered at around the time where the Bucks started to bleed away the comfortable first quarter lead they had built up, and having been particularly counterproductive during the spell that saw it slip away was then consigned to the bench for most of the remainder of the night. Beas finished with just seven minutes played, and two points and two rebounds from 1-4 shooting.. F. Milwaukee Bucks

D. A made field goal is in itself a big positive for Teletovic who has looked terrible lately, but the fact that it was a runner off the dribble rather than a trademark jumper would certainly suggest we might still be a way off being out of the woods with the Bosnian’s blip. Perhaps the most notable element of Telly’s play was how he managed to rack up three personal fouls in a startlingly short period of time after coming into the game.. F. Milwaukee Bucks. MIRZA TELETOVIC

JASON TERRY. D. JET made a single field goal, but spent most of his time on the periphery of the game when he was on the floor. While that’s exactly where you want the veteran when the team is in a groove, as part of a group that’s completely off their game that’s never going to do a whole lot to help. Terry’s plus-minus of -29 in just 12 minutes proves that. Terry has done a great job of using his voice to influence his teammates, but in games like this they probably need him to look to get his hands on the ball more often as a steadying veteran presence in-game.. SG. Milwaukee Bucks

G. Milwaukee Bucks. RASHAD VAUGHN. B. Very good minutes from Vaughn, which would make it unsurprising if he was to find himself cast into minutes further up the rotation again for Saturday’s game with the Heat. Sure, it may have been 10 minutes of garbage time, but Vaughn managed to grab eight points on 3-6 from the field when most of his teammates were still flailing around having no real success in getting anything to fall. Somewhat under the radar, Vaughn is up to 38.6 percent from three-point range too.

C+. The lack of rebounds is troubling, but make no mistake about it, this was the most Plumlee minutes we’ve seen in a long time. With good reason too, as Plums managed to make positive contributions. Miles knocked down a couple of hook shots before he seemingly tried to impress the judges with attempts that were increasing absurdly in terms of degree of difficulty. Newsflash: Plumlee’s sky hook still isn’t on a par with Kareem’s. Another positive for the oft-maligned Bucks center was a block and a couple of displays of the verticality at the rim that he often showed defensively last season. Maybe there’s still hope here.. C. Milwaukee Bucks. MILES PLUMLEE

THON MAKER. C-. Not the usual garbage time <a rel=. F/C. Milwaukee Bucks
