Both players are having very good seasons, and the President showed over the last stretch that he will do whatever it takes to help the Bucks win games.
His high-scoring output could easily continue as he jumped back into the starting lineup, and if Brogdon starts putting up 15 points plus per night for the rest of the season, the ROTY award might be his.
