Major key for Milwaukee – Let Eric Bledsoe attack

As the Bucks look to find some rhythm and potential momentum moving forward, they need to lean on Eric Bledsoe.

What’s already apparent in Bledsoe’s time in Milwaukee is that turning to the dynamic point guard must also come in the form of encouraging him to attack in order to get the best results.

The difference between a passive and active Bledsoe was evident in the second half of the Bucks’ Saturday loss to the Jazz. Although Bledsoe’s play wasn’t enough to turn the tide, a more aggressive approach in the second half saw the 27-year-old rack up free throws and score at the rim with ease.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is always going to be the primary scoring option and likely source of success for the Bucks, but in order to free up the Greek Freak to play his game and ease some of the pressure he carries from night to night, it’s vital that Bledsoe attacks and creates his own scoring opportunities.
