The Milwaukee Bucks have officially hit the halfway point of the 2022-23 NBA season with a 27-14 record and third-place standing in the Eastern Conference.

It’s not the best of times, it’s not the worst of times. Milwaukee is only 2.5 games behind the Boston Celtics at the top of the conference despite a roller-coaster of a season. They’ve missed a ton of games due to injury and haven’t seen the best ball from their best players. It’s safe to say they’ve persevered to this point.

The Bucks started out hot, winning their first nine games of the season. The revamped defense was limiting the opponent’s three-pointers, and the offense was doing enough to get by.

Here is a grade for every single player on the Milwaukee Bucks at the halfway point of the 2022-23 NBA Season.

Unfortunately, the defense has slipped a bit, as they’ve only gone 18-14 since their hot start. The offense hasn’t been able to duplicate past success and ranks as one of the worst in the NBA. Their struggles can be pinpointed to individual performances as well as scheme changes that are needed. Let’s focus on the former and grade every player on the Bucks’ roster at the halfway point of the season.
