The Milwaukee Bucks continued chipping away at their Summer League schedule with a late-night meeting against the LA Clippers on Tuesday.

The two teams traded buckets early on, but then the Clippers pulled away and never looked back. While the Bucks put up a good fight and made a valiant comeback attempt, they came up short in their quest to finally earn a Summer League win. LA walked away 112-97 winners, moving to 3-0, while the Bucks dropped to 0-3.

Despite the losses piling up, there have been plenty of positives on display in these Summer League matchups, and this game was no different. That said, let's highlight three Milwaukee Bucks who raised their individual stock in this contest.

Chris Livingston

Throughout Milwaukee's first two Summer League games, one could argue that Chris Livingston was the best player on the team. Another well-rounded performance in this matchup against the Clippers continued to make that a valid argument; he continues showing considerable improvements in his overall game that make him a fascinating player.

Livingston finished with an impressive line of 13 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal as he shot 6-of-12 from the field. The 20-year-old served as a jack of all trades for the Bucks, doing a bit of everything by playing strong defense, scoring the ball and, most noticeably, crashing the glass like a man possessed by Dennis Rodman every trip down the floor.

This type of do-it-all play should bode well for Livingston among Milwaukee's talent evaluators on the coaching staff. As the forward braces for his sophomore season, the style of play he's displayed over the course of these three games could very well get him on the court for the Bucks at some point in the coming future. Luckily for him, Doc Rivers was in the building catching the game.
