5. Malcolm Brogdon

Malcolm Brogdon is entering his third year in the league, and has already proved to be a valuable member of the Bucks. As soon as he stepped on the floor his talents were on full display, becoming the first member of the franchise to capture the Rookie of the Year award since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Now he is looking to build on the progress he has made these past two seasons, and should thrive under new leadership. Brogdon is able to provide support on both ends of the floor with his surprising athleticism and bulldog mentality, and this should prove to be his best season yet.

Although the guard is now 25-years-old, there are many facets of his game that can still be improved and highlighted under Mike Budenholzer. It may seem as if Brogdon has begun to peak, but throwing a top ten coach into the mix has the potential to take his performance to the next level.

Brogdon is one of the more balanced players on the roster, who at times can provide a much needed spark to the offense from behind the arch or with a poster slam, and is also more than capable of commanding the floor with the second team when needed. If he continues to work hard and buy in, he will play an important role in helping this team get to the next level.
