Milwaukee Bucks: 3 ways for Donte DiVincenzo to shake cold spell

3 ways for Donte DiVincenzo to shake cold spell – Maintain scrappy play

DiVincenzo has certainly been mired in a rough scoring and shooting patch for some time now, but what still shines throughout is his ability to affect other areas of the game.

Even at his 6’4″ size, DiVincenzo’s ability to track down loose balls or offensive rebounds as well as snatch up steals when springing into passing lanes has best exemplified his impact beyond scoring the ball. And through this point in the season, he has kept that up while going through his ups and downs offensively.

DiVincenzo is averaging 1.3 steals per game, which matches the mark he set as a sophomore last season. Along with that, DiVincenzo is averaging 2.3 deflections per game that further reinforces his athleticism and anticipation skills.

While his advanced rebounding numbers are slightly down from what he set last season, DiVincenzo is still pulling down 5.9 rebounds per 36 minutes, which is well above average for a player of his position.

The full throttle nature that DiVincenzo has regularly played with has been best felt on both ends of the floor and provides a balance to hang on, especially during stretches like these where his scoring has dried up considerably.

Time will tell just how and when DiVincenzo will be able to rid himself of his scoring and shooting woes, but he certainly will look to do many little things to stay on the floor as he works through this semi-slump.
