It was an unusual week or so from a Bucks perspective as both D.J. Wilson and Sterling Brown struggled in their three games of action, the Bucks had no new addition from this year’s draft to showcase, and their most recent draftee, Donte DiVincenzo, was sidelined through injury.

Still, there were occasional highlights to enjoy, and beyond that there are also bigger talking points to work through, and lessons that both the team and players can take forward over the remainder of the offseason, and beyond.

With that in mind, let’s reflect on the Bucks’ stay in Vegas this year and highlight some of the key things we’ve learned from Summer League.
