Point guard Eric Bledsoe’s play is one of the main reasons the Milwaukee Bucks have managed to excel despite losing standout guard Malcolm Brogdon last off-season.
Bledsoe is having a career year. He has a true shooting percentage of more than 58 percent and is setting a career-high in rebounding. The monkey on Bledsoe’s back is his disappearing act in recent post-season play. His teammates apparently don’t doubt him.
Bledsoe and Khris Middleton were the offense earlier this week against the Washington Wizards after Giannis Antetokounmpo missed most of the fourth quarter in foul trouble.
With his team carrying a 50-and-8 record it looks like Bledsoe will have a chance to erase any bad feelings about previous playoff performances.
