The Milwaukee Bucks moved a significant share of their chips to the center of the table with their acquisition of Eric Bledsoe last November.
Parting with draft picks to add any player at this point in the team’s development was always going to be a risk, but in Bledsoe, they opted to add a skilled point guard with experience of driving teams forward into the mix.
With a first full season in the books, it’s safe to say the results of that experiment have been mixed so far.
Although it included some peaks and troughs, Bledsoe put together a strong regular season as he got a feel for playing alongside his new teammates and appeared to grow in comfort and confidence.
