The best of Brogdon

While Brogdon didn’t display sweeping changes or alterations to his game coming off his first summer as a professional, the Atlanta native’s skill set was clearly fine tuned coming off his Rookie of the Year campaign.

Areas where Brogdon struggled to hone in during his rookie season had become reliable tools in his arsenal to attack opposing teams. Primarily known as spot up three-point shooter, Brogdon worked on knocking down treys off the dribble with great success as he shot 19-of-39 off of pull up three-pointers for the year, per NBA.com/stats.

Along with that, Brogdon’s finishing around the basket strengthened considerably as he put home 66 percent of his finishes at the basket this season, per Basketball-Reference.com. That mark stood as a 10 percent jump from how effective he was attacking the basket in his rookie season.

Lastly, as much as Brogdon’s play largely strays from being overly flashy or catching the spotlight, his collected demeanor and poise literally came through in the clutch during the Bucks’ postseason run as my fellow co-site expert Adam McGee wrote about earlier this week.

All in all, Brogdon finished the season averaging 13 points on shooting splits of .485/.385/.882, along with 3.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists through his 48 total appearances. With more room to grow, Brogdon’s sound numbers can be fortified next season and beyond.
