Despite the Milwaukee Bucks dropping their final NBA Summer League game to the Denver Nuggets, Wisconsin alum D’Mitrik Trice showed out in his 26 minutes of action.
The former Badger had played sparingly through four games in Las Vegas, but finally got his time on the hardwood. Trice scored 24 points and did it in a variety of ways. He shot 10-16 from the field while going 3-6 from distance.
As a smaller guard by NBA standards, Trice’s finishing was an element that he had to improve coming out of college. His package at the rim got better as his years in Madison went on, but buckets like this extension finish over Matur Maker need to become consistent for a player of his size:

How about vintage Trice with a mid-range bucket off the dribble?
