Milwaukee Bucks: Reserve grades from playoff sweep of the Miami Heat

A+. Bryn Forbes was nothing short of phenomenal in this series by averaging 15 points while shooting 21-for-41 (52.5 percent) from the floor and 16-for-33 (48.5 percent) from 3-point territory. The guard rode the hot hand the entire series as he consistently knocked down his outside shots to keep Milwaukee’s offensive running smoothly from the outside. That lethal shooting from the perimeter was something the team sorely missed in last year’s playoff matchup with the Heat, and Forbes helped alleviate the issue this time around by burying Miami with a barrage of triples. Given his stellar efforts, there is not much more the Bucks could have asked from him. Following such a stellar series, keep an eye on Forbes as his role will likely increase throughout the next series.. SG. Milwaukee Bucks. BRYN FORBES

<p>Although he started in Game 4 for the injured Donte DiVincenzo, Pat Connaughton played the first three games in this series as a reserve.
