With the 2019 FIBA World Cup now in the rear view mirror, how did the Milwaukee Bucks’ players grade individually for the tournament?

An eventful two weeks in China came to an end on Sunday as Spain were crowned 2019 FIBA World Cup champions, with Argentina claiming the silver medal, and France earning the bronze.

As I already touched on in an article on Sunday, there’s reason to believe the combined experiences picked up by Milwaukee’s players in recent weeks should benefit the team once the NBA season gets underway.

But after diligently following the individual Bucks and their national team exploits, it also seems worthwhile to now zoom out and assess their overall performances in the tournament.

With that in mind, let’s work our way through the five Bucks in question and offer up final grades for their play at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
