It’s not as if he had a tough act to follow, but coming off of a rookie season that was capped off with earning Rookie of the Year honors, Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon had to prove that his introduction to the NBA was no fluke this year.
Going from the 36th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft to a key starter for a playoff team in the span of 10 months, Brogdon’s breakout campaign in the 2016-17 season added him to the long line of second round success stories in recent years.
As it turned out, Brogdon kept on writing chapters to that story with his reliable, rock solid play as he shined throughout this year.
