Milwaukee Bucks: Weathering the storm with perimeter shooting slump

As has been much discussed over the summer and into the start of this season, letting it fly has been one of core tenets in the Milwaukee Bucks’ reshaped identity this year.

The point of the Bucks’ three-point revolution was two-fold as it finally brought the Bucks into the modern age when it comes to finally embracing that element of today’s game but also spreading the floor for their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to exact his special scoring talents at a higher rate on opposing teams.

It’s safe to say the added space has led to the surefire MVP candidate flourishing even further as a scorer and more importantly, has eased the burden of simply creating shots, given he’s leading the league in attempting the most shots per game within the restricted area as well as tallying the most points in the paint per game.
