Welcome to Behind the Buck Pass’s second installment of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Player of the Week. This week we had a lot of competition for third place and a swapping of last weeks Top 2.

As you are well aware of, as this has become BTBP tradition now after just one week, I am judge, jury, and executioner in terms of who makes the list and who gets left out. It is tough work making these decisions as many Bucks players go bananas in one game and then chill for the next few.

I don’t want to let any of the Bucks down but someone will always be disappointed. All the players eagerly await the release of these official weekly rankings for bragging rights amongst their teammates!

Overall it was a fun week. The Bucks finally won some games! The four game winning streak feels good. Yes maybe it wasn’t against the best competition but they did what they had to do against teams that weren’t giving up easily. Regardless of the quality of opponents, a 4-1 week is nothing to scoff at.

The lone loss came at the beginning of the week to a feisty Toronto squad that looks primed for the playoffs. Sitting at 5-1 currently the 106-87 beatdown doesn’t feel as bad as it did in the immediate aftermath. Even so, it would be encouraging if Milwaukee would play better against a strong team than to just beat up on the little guys.

After starting the week with a loss the Bucks managed to put together a needed string of victories against the Nets, 76ers, Knicks, and Nets again (those so-called little guys). The lineups, especially bench units, Milwaukee puts out on the floor seem to be gelling much more so than the first week of the season. Hopefully, they can keep this momentum going.

Besides a four game winning streak, this week also saw the return of Jabari Parker. It was huge news for Milwaukee to see one of the cornerstones of the franchise get back in action. Jabari is obviously on a pitch count, and for good reason, but he delivered some nice plays in his return. He averaged 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds in his first three games of the season.

It looks like Jabari hasn’t lost a step in terms of his athleticism, which is always a concern for a player returning from an ACL injury. His teammates trust him and he just needs a couple more games under his belt before he gets back to being his full self. I’d expect by the beginning of 2016 we see Jabari’s constraints come off.

Now let’s get to the players of the week!
