The Milwaukee Bucks beat the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday, and newcomer DeAndre Liggins was solid on defense in his 18-minute debut with the team. Bucks head coach Jason Kidd was impressed by Liggins' first game, and the guard may continue to get key minutes when defense is needed.
"I think it just shows his heart, his determination," Kidd told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Being here -- he deserves to be here -- we've been looking to get him and we got him. I thought his spirit, his energy on the ball carried over to the other four guys on the floor.
