Bufkin posted 18 points (7-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist, one steal and a block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 101-80 loss to the Mavericks.
Bufkin continues to struggle to score efficiently, missing all six of his three-point attempts and shooting 38.8 percent from the floor. Despite his offensive struggles, Bufkin showed promise on the defensive end, recording a steal and a block while taking multiple charges. The 15th overall pick will likely be a depth piece at the guard position for Atlanta to start his rookie campaign.
