Malcolm Brogdon

“Brogdon stayed consistent throughout the year. You have to look at the talent the Bucks continue to bring on. They’re coming strong and Brogdon was a big part of it. He’s a dependable guy and along with Parker and the Greek Freak, the Bucks are looking scary.” –Aaron Reed

“With the class that is fighting for the Rookie of the Year award this year, my pick has to go to the man who was most consistent throughout the year. That was Malcolm Brogdon. Although Joel Embiid was clearly the most skilled player of the class, it is hard to pick a guy who only played in 31 games.

Saric looked great as well but had times where he was a liability on the court. Meanwhile, Brogdon averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists per game while appearing in 75 games of the regular season. Definitely worthy of this award.” –Kohl Rast
