Khris Middleton is going to be out for a few weeks with some mysterious leg ailment that’s actually just a cover for the fact that NBA investigators were on the cusp of finding out that he’s literally just a giant mutant ant-person. While Middleton’s handlers try to improve his human disguise so that he stops drawing so much suspicion, somebody else on the Bucks will have to step up and replace the pointage that Middleton and his ant-appendages provided.
That person is Donte DiVincenzo. Okay, so he’s not going to go out there and be a scoring machine like Middleton often is, but he at least can replace some of the pointage. Sterling Brown can also chip in and, together, they can weather this storm. In this game alone, DiVincenzo had fourteen, and Brown had ten. Combine that to get 24 points, which is actually more than Middleton was averaging before his status as a humanoid insect was nearly discovered. Yeah, the Bucks should be just fine.
Now that we have received conclusive evidence that DiVincenzo can replace some or even much of Middleton’s production, the next step is to encourage him to shoot the requisite amount of shots. This part should be easy. Every NBA player secretly wishes that they were the number one option and were dropping thirty PPG per game. You just have to make sure his teammates are all on the same page so none of them get buttmad when DiVincenzo starts shooting every time the ball hits his hands.
P.S. I totally forgot that my angle for this description was going to be that DiVincenzo is turning out to be a fine Brogdon replacement, which is funny because Brogdon was so afraid of the Bucks that he sat out this game with a phantom malady.
