Brogdon Comfortable On The Bench Again

It’s been five games since Malcolm Brogdon returned to the bench in the team’s attempt to shake things up. It took him a couple games to get his chemistry back with the second unit, but he’s back to playing good basketball.

It wasn’t his best game, he had three turnovers, but he ran the offense smoothly throughout his 31 minutes. The rookie attacked the gaps he was given, setting himself up, or hitting a teammate in the corner. He hit Moose as much as possible, giving the impression that their chemistry has returned to its previous form.

The team wasn’t hot tonight, so his play didn’t result in much overall, but they looked smoothest with him driving the car. If the losing streak continues, it’ll be hard to keep him out of the starting lineup.
