Hello! I don’t know much about basketball when it comes to the players, so thank you for this! I think you did a great job of summarizing the information about the game without having too much content. I also like how you split up the content so that it is easy to read. Overall I also like the design you used for your website because it matches the Bucks theme/colors.
