Following a more than solid run of performances as part of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Summer League squad in Las Vegas in recent weeks, the focus of second year wing Sterling Brown will now turn to making his mark, and earning minutes, in the upcoming NBA season.
Brown showed plenty of potential as a versatile and impactful bench contributor during his rookie season, but during both Jason Kidd and Joe Prunty’s tenures as head coach, it’s fair to say opportunity was at times inconsistent for the 23-year-old.
There’s every reason to believe that won’t be the case in 2018-19, though, as the departure of Jabari Parker looks set to open up significant minutes on the wing, on top of some of the minutes soaked up by the unlikely to return duo of Jason Terry and Shabazz Muhammad at shooting guard and small forward, respectively.
