One month after the Bucks traded for Eric Bledsoe, I wrote a story about how the Bucks had a new Big Three. A fair number of people fairly felt that it was a bit early to call such a thing such a thing. But the numbers looked right to me (and the look looked right to me):
“In 255 minutes together, Giannis/Bledsoe/Middleton have thrashed their opponents by 72 points. That equates to a differential of +13.5 per 48 minutes. Only four other teams in the league currently have a three-man unit doing that in 250+ minutes: the Warriors, Rockets, Celtics, and 76ers.
