[autotag]Pat Connaughton[/autotag] must be ready for the playoffs because he had an amazing game over the past week. During the Milwaukee Bucks’ March 24 win over the Utah Jazz, he scored a season-high 22 points, most of which came on six 3-pointers, also a season high. Two days earlier against the San Antonio Spurs, he grabbed 10 rebounds. Those particular contests added up to a week in which he averaged 10.7 points and 6.3 rebounds a game while shooting an even 50.0% from the field.
Meanwhile, it appears [autotag]Blake Wesley[/autotag] has hit the rookie wall, and it surely came for him later than usual since he was injured for nearly two months. He did turn in a decent performance in the Spurs’ game against the Bucks with six points and six assists. He also had a career-high nine assists March 24 against the Washington Wizards. But a 2.8 scoring average suggests he’s ready for the offseason to begin soon, even though he did have 4.5 assists a game.
