With NBA Free Agency drawing ever nearer, the Milwaukee Bucks will be among the teams looking to add greater depth and spacing to their roster at shooting guard. What sort of options are available to them?

Regardless of what type of talent level a team is looking for this summer, there’s likely close to a corresponding shooting guard who they could target.
