Milwaukee Bucks: Takeaways from 105-96 loss to Detroit Pistons

Malcolm’s not middling

As he has for much of the young season, Malcolm Brogdon delivered a productive performance against the Pistons.

Playing for 34-and-a-half minutes, Brogdon scored 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field (3-of-5 from three), dished out 10 assists, grabbed two rebounds, registered three turnovers and was a +4 on the night.

Brogdon was incredibly effective on the offensive end as he expertly drove to the rim, sunk shots from beyond the arc and distributed the ball on a regular basis. That showed through more in the second half as the Bucks were looking for any lifeline when things were at their worst.

Unfortunately, Brogdon’s rock solid performance came in a losing effort, but it shouldn’t diminish what has been a very promising start to the season for the 24-year-old.
