After watching that dunk for what has to be the millionth time, it is still just downright ridiculous. Is it really fair to be able to do that? Well, even with the fun and games of the dunking from this week, the Bucks dropped three of their four games in what was one of the worst stretches of the season.

Now back under .500 for the year, the Bucks will be looking to turn things around during the next week of play. The next two games continue the minor road trip that started with Houston, traveling to Orlando and then Miami. Both of these games are quite winnable, although playing on the road is never easy.

Following that, there are two home games to wrap up the week, both against teams that the Bucks lost to during this week: the Philadelphia 76ers and the Houston Rockets. Hopefully the team comes out looking for revenge in these battles, taking home an above .500 record for next week to put the team back at even on the year.

Giannis was once again the leading scorer on the week, but where does he find a spot in this week’s power rankings? Let’s dive in and find out.

Miles Plumlee

Last week: 3 GP: 3.3 mins/0.0 pts/1.0 rebs/0.0 astsLast rank: 12

In ten total minutes of play, Miles Plumlee did nothing to really prove that he deserved more time on the court. He grabbed a few rebounds, but also picked up a couple of fouls, and did not score. To get Plumlee on the court, he needs to start showing more, an injury needs to occur, or Henson needs to really fall off of the map with his quality of play.Next: 12. Mirza Teletovic

Mirza Teletovic

Last week: 2 GP: 6.0 mins/0.0 pts/1.0 rebs/0.5 astsLast rank: 8

It wasn’t the best week for Mirza. While struggling to get on the floor for much of the time, he did not take advantage of the time given. Shooting ZERO percent on the week, including 0-6 from three is not what the team wants from him and it is the reason that he finds himself so low on these rankings. To get back into the rotation and higher on the power rankings, he has to start knocking down those jumpers.Next: 11. Rashad Vaughn

Rashad Vaughn

Last week: 3 GP: 4.0 mins/2.3 pts/0.3 rebs/0.3 astsLast rank: NR

Vaughn was 3-7 from the floor and made one of his three trifecta attempts this week. Not an all-around bad showing.

Thon Maker

Last week: 3 GP: 2.3 mins/1.7 pts/1.0 rebs/0.0 astsLast rank: 11

Jason Terry

Last week: 4 GP: 18.8 mins/3.5 pts/1.5 rebs/0.8 astsLast rank: 9

Matthew Dellavedova

Last week: 4 GP: 19.8 mins/6.3 pts/2.3 rebs/4.3 astsLast rank: 10

John Henson

Last week: 4 GP: 21.3 mins/4.5 pts/4.8 rebs/1.8 astsLast rank: 7

Tony Snell

Last week: 4 GP: 28.3 mins/8.3 pts/2.3 rebs/2.0 astsLast rank: 6

Michael Beasley

Last week: 4 GP: 22.3 mins/10.8 pts/6.0 rebs/1.8 astsLast rank: 4

Greg Monroe

Last week: 4 GP: 21.0 mins/11.3 pts/5.5 rebs/1.3 astsLast rank: 3

Malcolm Brogdon

President Guard

Last week: 4 GP: 29.8 mins/10.8 pts/4.0 rebs/4.8 astsLast rank: 2

Jabari Parker

Last week: 4 GP: 33.5 mins/17.5 pts/6.8 rebs/3.5 astsLast rank: 1

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Last week: 4 GP: 35.5 mins/26.8 pts/8.3 rebs/5.0 astsLast rank: 5

Minutes: 1st
Points: 1st
Rebounds: 1st
Assists: 1st
FG%: 1st
FTM: 1st
Blocks: 1st

Yeah, he was pretty good once again. And as we will find out soon, it is likely that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be representing the Bucks in the All-Star game this season, a special honor, as the team has not had an All-Star since 2004.
