But five other players scored in double figures. Ersan Ilyasova had 17, Nikola Mirotic 15, Malcolm Brogdon 14, George Hill 13 and Khris Middleton 12. The scoring came in all directions from all areas of the floor. The Bucks spread the ball and the scoring. “We want guys that are basketball players that have high IQs that can do, like you said, dribble, pass, shoot, can make reads, make decisions,” Budenholzer said. “We try to develop them. We try and empower them. We try to play a way where they all feel like they can contribute and do things. Hopefully that’s paying off for us, and guys appreciate it. I think they grow and develop here.”
Malika Andrews: Mike Budenholzer said Nikola Mirotic will start in Game 1 against Toronto. Malcolm Brogdon will come off the bench.
Brogdon, meanwhile, played a key role in helping the Bucks earn the NBA’s best record this season by averaging 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists as a starter in 64 games. He also shot 42.6 percent from 3-point range. But the 2017 NBA Rookie of the Year was sidelined for nearly two months after suffering a plantar fascia tear in his right foot on March 17. Brogdon returned on May 8 and scored 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting in 16 minutes off the bench in the series-clinching victory over the Boston Celtics. While Brogdon could remain a reserve in favor of Nikola Mirotic when the East finals begin, he is finally healthy. “I’d say that I am at 100 percent right now,” Brogdon said.
Matt Velazquez: Bud confirmed Malcolm Brogdon is out tonight. No setbacks, just not cleared to return. Also said he will stick with the starting lineup from Game 2, which included Nikola Mirotic.
