Our goal is to try to identify the franchise’s All-Time 15 man roster, their greatest starting five, and highlight the work of some of the franchise’s greats who may have flown under the radar.
Having looked at the point guards last time out, this time we move on from the distributors to the shooting guards.
The Bucks have had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to scorers over the years, as you’ll see when you go through this list. With classifying players as rigidly as shooting guard always a contentious issue, we’ve stuck to the players that Basketball-Reference credits as primarily playing shooting guard during their time with the team.
Who are the greatest two guards in franchise history though?
That may not necessarily be who had the greatest individual numbers, but who left the most significant marks in the history of the Bucks, and who made the teams they played on that much better?
Let’s look at some of the contenders below, and at the end, don’t forget to vote for the three shooting guards who you feel deserve to be in with a shot of making the final 15 man All-Time Bucks roster!
The final results will be decided by a combination of readers votes and opinions and those of our staff here at Behind The Buck Pass, so make sure to have your say.
