Part of what made the Bucks offense so potent last season was that they finally surrounded Giannis Antetokounmpo with four shooters at all times. In order to accomplish this, they brought in Brook Lopez-a transformative outside shooting big.
Despite averaging a career-low in points per game, Lopez’s outside shooting was a revelation, as he made 36.5 percent of his threes. His ability to stretch the floor from the center position and pull opposing team’s bigs away from the basket opened up the paint for his teammates and allowed the Bucks to dominate around the rim.
