The Milwaukee Bucks signed Matthew Dellavedova to be their starting point guard coming into the 2016-17 NBA season. Delly, thanks to his time running point with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, was supposed to be a perfect fit next to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Unfortunately, Delly just didn’t do all that well as a Buck. Dellavedova had his worst three-point shooting season and his second-worst field goal shooting season in 2016-17, and ended up losing his starting gig to Malcolm Brogdon during the regular season.
Part of the reason often suggested for Dellavedova’s struggles is the fact that he’s no longer playing with LeBron and the super-powered Cavs.
