The Milwaukee Bucks are undefeated and 7-0! Much of the attention is, deservedly, going to Mike Budenholzer’s staff putting in a modern offensive scheme. Milwaukee has scored the majority of their points from the paint or from three (very good) and have nearly abandoned the midrange jumper (even better). The ROI of their shot profile has catapulted them into the top 10 in offensive rating (6th according to nba.com). There has been another factor to Milwaukee’s improved play though, and that is their significant improvement in the rebounding department. Milwaukee and effective rebounding has never been a compatible pair, but this season their courtship is developing.
Solid Rebounding has Quietly Been the Key to Milwaukee’s Early Success
