Ivey notched 22 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a block across 23 minutes in Sunday's 120-87 preseason win over the Bucks.
Ivey is competing for a starting role in the backcourt alongside Cade Cunningham, and there's no question he made a strong case for himself with a solid showing Sunday, leading the team in scoring and looking extremely efficient with his shot, particularly from three-point range. Ivey is competing with Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway for that starting gig, and he outplayed both of them, so things might be trending in the right direction for him with the regular season approaching quickly.
