The Worst of Plumlee

As far as what went wrong for Plumlee this season, it’s hard to think of something that didn’t apply for this whole Bucks team.

Despite his efficient play in the post or around the basket, Plumlee’s limited range on offense had been well known and that certainly didn’t help a Bucks offense that struggled with spacing all throughout the year.

The same goes for rebounding, especially on the defensive end (the Bucks ranked 29th in defensive rebounding percentage) and Plumlee’s 5.7 defensive rebounds per 36 minutes didn’t do much to solve that problem.

However, arguably the biggest knock on Plumlee’s year might be his free-throw shooting.

Even though he completed a career-high 58 percent of his free throws this season, Plumlee’s free-throw percentage slightly trailed off after the All-Star break (he shot 52 percent from the charity stripe), despite having a free-throw rate of 28 percent.

This is obviously par for the course when discussing big men and admittedly nit picky, but similar to John Henson, leaving points at the line is a habit you’d like to see Plumlee correct in the future.
