Tag: Donte DiVincenzo

Now I know what fans of other teams are talking about when they claim that such-and-so random role-player is actually SO GOOD and everyone who isn’t a fan of the team just can’t know how good he is. Because that’s Donte DiVincenzo for the Bucks. His stats don’t jump off the page for you except…

It’s weird that Donte DiVincenzo apparently scored 16 points tonight considering that the Bucks didn’t play a game, but that’s what my machine-learning enhanced boxscore script is telling me, and it doesn’t get things wrong like that. That thing might be an incomprehensible black box of code, but it is always right when it comes…

Consider this video to be another exclusive sneak preview of my new DownToBuck+ (pronounced “Down To Buck Plus”) subscription service. If you’ll remember, DownToBuck+ provides the same great content as the regular DownToBuck YouTube channel, but it provides MORE of it. That means showing assists when my assist threshold of five isn’t met, or showing…

What we are seeing right now from Donte DiVincenzo is something we haven’t yet seen in his NBA career: consistency. This is his fourth straight double-digit scoring game, compare that to the three he had all of last year. We’d seen the flashes, but now we’re getting those flashes on a nightly basis. It’s easy…

We are still waiting for a National Championship Game-esque performance from Donte DiVincenzo, and I think we’re going to be waiting for quite a bit longer.

While Middleton’s handlers try to improve his human disguise so that he stops…

The departure of Malcolm Brogdon is a big one for the Bucks. I cannot help but look at him putting up ridiculous numbers in Pacers and feel twinges of regret. But what’s done is done, and it’s not like he’d be averaging 20 and 10 on this Bucks team anyway. Not unless they marginalized Giannis,…

Before the season started, reports out of the Bucks’ training camp were that Donte DiVincenzo was kicking everybody’s butts and shooting the ball extraordinarily well. I’m sure those reports were true, they wouldn’t just lie about something like that, but I forgot to consider that training camp reports are totally worthless for predicting future success….

Donte DiVincenzo showed basically nothing both in Summer League and preseason. I know, because I was waiting earnestly for him to do something, anything, and he didn’t. Unless you count airballing threes as “something”. So it didn’t really make sense for Coach Bud to bring him off the bench as the 7th man only a…
