As a team, Milwaukee played a sloppy game. While both teams had over 20 turnovers with he Bucks committing 22, there was one player for the Bucks who didn't have a single one and it was Burries.

Being one of the primary ball handlers for Milwaukee, it's an impressive stat to have not committed one turnover, especially in a game where it felt like there was a turnover every other possession.

The Bucks organization must be feeling confident with the Arizona guard after he''s done exactly what they imagined, as he scored in multiple ways, taken care of the ball and made an impact on the defensive end.

It's been clear that Burries has been playing with an immense amount confidence on the court, but he has also shown it off the court.

Following the game against the Spurs, Burries was asked about his goal for his rookie season and like most players, he wants to succeed at the highest level.

"I wanna try to be an all star my first year, I wanna be in the rising stars game, I wanna be a first-team All-Rookie, Rookie of the Year and just continue to get better," Burries said, "I wanna be in the playoffs too and make a deep run."
