The Big Snafu

On to what was easily the biggest lowlight of the game for many Bucks fans, Donte DiVicnenzo’s Summer League struggles carried over for the second straight game and in a much more considerable way.

Getting the nod in the starting lineup once again, the Delaware native’s stumbles were evident virtually from the jump as he started off the game drawing air after pulling up from three-point land, the second game he did just that.

As his shooting struggles continued throughout his shifts for the game, DiVincenzo’s lack of rhythm carried into his ball handling and playmaking ability as he was noticeably out of sync connecting with teammates

It should be noted that DiVincenzo did make an impact in chasing down long rebounds as well as getting his hands in the passing lanes to gobble up passes to jumpstart the Bucks out on the break.

All in all, the former Villanova Wildcat posted one point on 0-of-5 shooting from the field (all coming from beyond the arc), four rebounds, three turnovers, two assists and two steals, and was a -3 in his 16 minutes.

Logging 26 total minutes of action after missing the first three games due to a right groin strain, DiVincenzo will surely look to move past his lackluster Summer League debut with plenty of work in the gym leading up to his first NBA training camp.
