#10 Malcolm Brogdon
Picked 35th in 2016 by the Milwaukee Bucks
Other than a beautiful addition to your mantelpiece and undeniable bragging rights, what does a Rookie of the Year Award give you? Greater accountability on the team.
Brogdon's rookie season might have been the stuff of dreams; after all, he was the first second-round pick to win the Rookie of the Year award. He outshone any meager expectations the Bucks may have had when they drafted him early in the second round last year, by providing level-headed plays and a consistent scoring punch to support Giannis Antetokounmpo last season.
This season, he has increased his scoring by nearly 3 points-per-game while maintaining the same level of production in other areas. If the Bucks are really to be the team of the future in the east though, Brogdon must persevere to do even more of the heavy lifting. Milwaukee may have the services of Eric Bledsoe for now at the starting point guard spot, but Brogdon's size and composure present a great opportunity to fashion him as the leader of bench wrecking crews.
