The past week was a decent one for Pat Connaughton. In a small way, it seemed like as he went, so did the Milwaukee Bucks. That’s not to say that he was the sole reason for whether they won or lost, but his performances seemed to reflect the outcome for each game.
Connaughton’s had a little bit of everything in a Dec. 13 home win over the defending champion Golden State Warriors: nine points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and a block. The Bucks’ 41-point road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Dec. 15 was their worst of the season, and Connaughton was held to a single 3-pointer on five attempts, though he also grabbed four rebounds. He got back on track at home Dec. 17, scoring eight points and dishing out an assist to help defeat the Utah Jazz.
For the week, Connaughton averaged 6.7 points and 2.3 rebounds a game while shooting 40% from the field.
