On October 7th, in an NBA preseason game, the Bucks lost to the Pistons 87-120.
In this game, the Bucks started strong with a 20-3 lead, but soon the Pistons took control of the game. Apart from Middleton and Antetokounmpo, the Bucks rotated 18 players in this game, with only two players scoring in double digits throughout the match. In the final quarter, when both teams’ bench players faced off, the Bucks scored a mere 8 points, performing very poorly.
Notably, AJ-Johnson got nearly 18 minutes of playing time in this game, but his shooting was icy cold, missing all six of his first shots, ending up 1 out of 8 overall, 0 out of 1 from three-point range, scoring just 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. AJ-Johnson had a highlight performance scoring over 20 points in a single Summer League game, but also had the embarrassing record of 0 out of 12 in the last Summer League game, showing his lack of consistency. Another rookie, Tyler Smith, went 2 out of 7 in this game, scoring 5 points.
On the Pistons’ side, fifth pick Holland came off the bench and played for nearly 26 minutes today. He shot 4 out of 10, 0 out of 3 from three-point range, made both of his free throws, scoring 10 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, performing much better than AJ Johnson.
How did the comparison show? AJ-Johnson scored only 2 points, while Holland scored 10 points with rebounds and assists. Author：Sports UEFA.Please indicate the source when reproduced：https://www.sportsuefa.com/basketball-headlines/51180.html
