Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer is ecstatic with his side having been boosted by Pat Connaughton's recent return from injury. 
 
"He's obviously a very good player," Budenholzer said about Connaughton, who featured in their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves over the weekend. 
 
"But all these intangible things -- competitiveness, togetherness, all the things we really hang our hat on -- he has those at a high level.
 
"We're very excited to add him. There have been opportunities for others while he's been injured, but now with him back, we feel like everybody is going to be better for it."
