Love Brogdon on the court and in the locker room:

With JB out, we needed another scorer who could attack the basket and stroke it from three without disrupting our offensive rhythm. Brogs put up 20-5-6 like it was nothing. Another great trade by POBO Brad. Please please stay healthy.

the first game he came back from injury was a little shaky, but since then he has been VERY good. Solid D, playing with good pace, moving the ball, knocking down shots, getting to the rim and making really good decisions with the ball in terms of when to drive/pass/shoot.

Keep it up, Malcolm!

Quarter season review:

Brogdon has been incredible as a decision maker and slasher. He is as advertised on both pros/cons. He has missed 4 games and we should expect him to miss more. One gripe about Brogdon's on court play is the heat checks. It's difficult to not start feeling yourself, especially for a starting level player. It's a small price to pay for the tremendous effective plays he provides during the rest of his time on the court

I agree with this. I think we unfortunately may have to deal with the regular season heat-checks, given he's a guy used to being a 1-2nd option who's now playing 20-24 minutes off the bench. But he's still a very mature guy, and much like Jaylen, I think he'll do his best to do everything in a team-first context once the playoffs come.

Dude is a machine he gets to his spots so effortlessly. Every time I watch him dribble it reminds me of Kawhi lite, very quick snappy moves and hesis with no wasted motion. Next time you watch him, look for how quick he does the between the leg dribble, you can barely even notice it

there's so many drives that he starts from a standstill, and I don't think he has any advantage, and then he's finishing a layup or making a nice pass against a collapsed defense.

which is exactly what I remember being annoying when we were fans of the team on the other side! (cheering for the Cs against him)

Something surprising as I was looking at some of our shooting numbers...

Brogdon is only shooting 50% from within 3 feet of the rim. That's by far a career low and well below his 59.2% career average. Last season in Indy he was at 63.2%.

I thought he'd have more room to operate but maybe playing with bench groups more is not doing him any favors esp if it's not alongside Tatum. It gets stagnant sometimes with the second unit with him leading. Or maybe he just needs more time to adjust.

His three-ball (esp from the left wing) has been pure though.

There are times I watch Brogdon and he seems exactly what Dennis Johnson would be if he played in this era.

Perhaps that is just me...

It helps that Brogdon looks like somebody from a previous generation ...

... well, not always. But when the hair is calm and moustache non-trivial, than clearly.

And to some extent always in his lack of razzle-dazzle.

Its not the looks as far as his face.

Its more his poise on the court. His willingness to compete on both ends. His ability to know what is needed at any given time. And his pride in giving what is needed, be it scoring, paassing, defense.

Brogdon was not good last night when it mattered. In third quarter when GS made its big run he didn’t come through - especially at the rim. That said, I think he and Rob are going to be a nightmare combination and his ability to finish or dish to Rob might get that % back above 60.

I don't have buyer's remorse as regards the Brogdon trade,
it seemed a no-brainer at the time for what they gave up,
but after watching him so far this season,
he is not as dominant a player as I expected.
Some of that could be re-adjusting to a bench role,
but he does seem prone to defensive lapses, turnovers
and having to be gingerly load-managed. Still, I'm much
more confident of his shooting ability in the playoffs than Smart or White,
so that's when I expect his real value to the team to shine.

He’s been a tougher fit than I expected, especially since he didn’t change Jaylen’s role like we all thought and the team alluded to. I think that would have been the easiest way to bring him in, but they’ve now got to figure it out. The narrative is still there though as almost every national tv game you hear Doris Burke or someone say, “how good is Malcolm Brogdon’s fit on this team”, even when it’s sometimes more theoretical than what we see on the court. I don’t blame Malcolm for that either, but he does commit a lot more live ball turnovers than I expected or remembered him doing in Indy or Milwaukee. 2022 Finals flashbacks for a lot of them.

Yeah its been a tough fit for now. I think its a bit on the coaching staff too to figure out how to better use him. For me the most disappointing has been expecting him to have a positive impact on our ball movement and offense when the 3 isn't going in but he's kinda been one of the main culprits at times when our offense stagnated. Think he'll be more comfortable by the end of the season though

Like Brogdon has stated, he's playing like a starter on reserve minutes. The timing of when he plays needs adjustment (needs to play in crunch time)

This is now at 58.2%, closer to his career average. Still lowest on the team but is trending up.

Last night I felt was a game where Brogdon should have come back in after a few minutes rest in the 4th, especially when Smart seemed to be limping a little. Luckily, it worked out, but he was instrumental to us pulling away in the 4th and preserving the lead in the 3rd.
