Malcolm Brogdon:

2018-19 – $1,544,951

Salary:

As per spotrac.

Of all the assets the Bucks may be willing to move Brogdon is my favorite. The guard dubbed “The President” plays with an intelligence rarely witnessed in players of his age group.

Brogdon also isn’t the type of player who’ll shy away from taking the big shot. Review any Bucks game from this season and you’re likely to discover Brogdon making a key play or score at a pivotal moment. Much like OKC Thunder fans opine on all the things Steven Adams does that doesn’t show up in the box score Brogdon is built of the same ilk.

An above average playmaker and defender there isn’t much missing from the young man’s game. The one area of concern is his ability to work with screens but is something he’ll develop as he progresses in the NBA.

The issue with Brogdon is he has a tendency to get injured and also has a history with foot injuries. In his short stint in the NBA, he’s missed games due to hand, foot, back and quadriceps injuries.
