Say it ain’t ‘Soe

Wednesday night marked a season lowlight for Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe in what was his worst shooting performance of the year so far.

In just over 30 minutes of playing time, Bledsoe posted 11 points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field (0-of-6 from deep), three rebounds, five assists, two turnovers, a steal and was a -9.

As you can see, Bledsoe struggled to knock down shots from the perimeter and from mid-range throughout the night, whether it was due to a couple of bad rolls on the rim or firing when either off balance or clearly out of rhythm.

With that, we didn’t see much of Bledsoe in attack mode, though the saving grace of his night was how many trips he was able to make to the free throw line as he went 7-of-8 from the stripe.

But all in all, it was a lackluster showing from the 28-year-old and arguably his most frustrating performance in a Bucks uniform. There will be better nights ahead for him, that’s for sure.
