Milwaukee Bucks: Malcolm Brogdon season preview 2017-18

Malcolm Brogdon exceeded all expectations in his first season with the Milwaukee Bucks, but what will he bring to the table in year two?

Having gone from the 36th overall pick to the NBA’s Rookie of the Year in the space of 12 months, Malcolm Brogdon is now preparing for an intriguing second season with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Brogdon has been on a dizzying journey up until now, and will enter his second year in the NBA with much greater name recognition, awareness, and indeed, pressure surrounding his play.

No longer is the former Virginia Cavalier a second rounder just looking to earn minutes as a player who can make a meaningful impact in a rotation, as his first year exploits mean the expectation will be for bigger and better this time around.

Brogdon doesn’t necessarily need to deliver much more, though, and would seem like exactly the kind of player who possesses the intelligence and composure that means it’s unlikely he’ll be pushing to be something he isn’t.

As a player who is already incredibly well-rounded, Brogdon possesses great value and utility to what the Bucks are building, and it’ll be up to him to see whether he has an extra gear to organically turn to in the upcoming season and beyond.

First and foremost, though, let’s take a closer look at what exactly it is that Brogdon brings to the Bucks, what his aims are for the coming season, and what should be expected of him too.
