Taken with the 36th pick in this year's draft, it's safe to say that the Milwaukee Bucks got themselves a steal in Malcolm Brogdon.

The 24-year-old erupted for his best game as a pro on Saturday night, finishing with 15 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds to become the first rookie this season to record a triple-double.

Despite being taken in the second round, Brogdon has quickly shown his worth over the first two-plus months of the season, sitting fifth among rookies in points per game (8.3), and second in assists per game (3.6).

Should Brogdon continue his strong play into the new year, he'll make a strong case for a spot on the All-Rookie team by season's end.
