Milwaukee Bucks Daily: Malcolm Brogdon is buoying the bench
The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we look at how Malcolm Brogdon‘s move to the bench has paid dividends for the overall performance from the team’s reserves after acquiring Eric Bledsoe.
In the latest edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we take a look at the benefits Malcolm Brogdon’s move to the bench has brought to the second unit, arguably Mo Williams‘ most memorable moment as a Buck and a successful road trip for the Wisconsin Herd.
With the arrival of Eric Bledsoe, head coach Jason Kidd had a tough decision in determining who the 28-year-old would replace in the team’s starting five. While it’s too early to declare that it’s a problem solved moving forward, Brogdon’s headlining performance off the bench has led to an encouraging boost in effectiveness from the overall unit through the last two games.
