My apologies for not keeping up with this column the past couple weeks with the holiday. We’re back, though we’ll only look at stats from the past week-ish of games (four, going back to the Boston loss) and evaluate each player on those merits, but we’ll touch on broader trends for each player since the last report card on November 9th too. Plenty to touch on, so let’s dive right in...
Giannis Antetokounmpo: B+ (last time: A-)
4 GP, 38.0 MPG, .526/.167/.698, 29.5 PPG, 12.0 RPG, 4.8 APG, 3.5 TPG, 2.3 SPG, 1.3 BPG
Sorry to be a downer here, but a very productive week was marred by another underwhelming outing versus the Celtics, who have had Giannis’—and the Bucks’ as a whole, to be fair—number since Game 6 of the 2022 second round.
