During the Milwaukee Bucks’ Sunday afternoon win over the Phoenix Suns, legendary play-by-play announcer Jim Paschke made an interesting observation on the Fox Sports Wisconsin broadcast.
Having lost the sharpshooting of Malcolm Brogdon last summer, there was always going to be a sharp focus on how the Bucks would fare from deep this year, particularly given how their shooting had already let them down at key junctures in last season’s playoffs.
The Bucks’ three most significant summer signings of the offseason, Wesley Matthews, Robin Lopez, and Kyle Korver, were widely viewed as the team’s attempt to replace Brogdon’s production by committee, and when it comes to volume of three-point makes, they’ve certainly lived up to that task.
