After a limited rookie year, Milwaukee Bucks wing Sterling Brown took great strides to become a regular rotation player, when healthy, over the course of his promising sophomore season.

It’s safe to say opportunity came knocking for Sterling Brown at many points throughout his second season with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Following a rookie season that can be best described as flash-filled, Brown came into the 2018-19 campaign with plenty of motivation and more importantly, a fresh start with the arrival of head coach Mike Budenholzer, along with the rest of his coaching staff.

Considering Budenholzer’s pedigree of developing players of Brown’s mold and skill set during his five-year reign with the Atlanta Hawks, there was plenty of excitement about what the one-time NBA Coach of the Year could do to unlock Brown’s game to the next level going into this year.

The Illinois native’s sophomore season wasn’t without bumps and adversity along the way, whether that was due to injury or Brown falling in and out of the rotation at various points in the season.

However, the combination of Brown’s increased role between his minutes workload as well as gaining the occasional spot start during the season and in the playoffs, and the upward trajectory in his development, all contributed to him enjoying an improved campaign and hopefully offered a sign of what’s still to come.

So without further ado, let’s examine Sterling Brown’s sophomore campaign by looking at the good, the bad and the in-between.
