The latest edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we check in with where the team stands at the halfway point for this season.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we look at where the Bucks check in at the halfway mark for this year, Joel Bolomboy gets recognized for his fantastic play at this year’s G League Showcase, how Wisconsin Herd head coach Jordan Brady has steered his team through their recent roster shakeup and much more.

Through their first 41 games this year, the Bucks have managed to surprise, whether that be going in to get guard Eric Bledsoe or Giannis Antetokounmpo continuing to rise to new heights, and have infuriated fans due to their inconsistencies all at the same time.

Now that we’re smack dab in the middle of the season, it gives us a good time to take an eagle eyed view and evaluate where the team stands heading into the second half of the year.
