Bucks rookie Brogdon thriving at both ends of the floor
Malcolm Brogdon’s skill at both ends of the floor has him on pace for another Milwaukee Bucks milestone.
Brogdon is just the fifth rookie in Bucks history to average at least 10 points and a steal with at least 30 games played.
With just 13 games to go in the regular season Brogdon is set to join a list that also features former Bucks star Glenn Robinson and FOX Sports Wisconsin's own Marques Johnson.
| Season | Player | PPG | SPG |
| 1994-95 | Glenn Robinson | 21.9 | 1.4 |
| 1977-78 | Marques Johnson | 19.5 | 1.2 |
| 2009-10 | Brandon Jennings | 15.5 | 1.3 |
| 1992-93 | Todd Day | 13.8 | 1.1 |
| 2016-17 | Malcolm Brogdon | 10.0 | 1.2 |
Giannis Antetokounmpo has also thrived on defense, where the 6-foot-11 All-Star has put his lanky frame to good use.
Antetokounmpo has at least two blocks and two steals in a league-leading 20 games this season, and is the only player to have more than 17 such games.
| Player | Team | Games |
| Giannis Antetokounmpo | Bucks | 20 |
| Anthony Davis | Pelicans | 17 |
| Draymond Green | Warriors | 16 |
| Robert Covington | 76ers | 13 |
| Andrew Drummond | Pistons | 12 |
Meanwhile, the Bucks are ensuring that Brogdon and Antetokounmpo's defensive prowess doesn't go to waste.
The Bucks have undergone one of the league's biggest turnarounds from February to March, and now occupy the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference.
They've gone 8-3 so far in March, up from a 5-6 record in February.
| Team | February | March | Differential |
| Trail Blazers | 2-7 (.222) | 8-2 (.800) | +.578 |
| Nets | 0-10 (.000) | 4-7 (.364) | +.364 |
| Bucks | 5-6 (.455) | 8-3 (.727) | +.272 |
| Pelicans | 4-7 (.364) | 6-4 (.600) | +.236 |
