Milwaukee Bucks: Every Olympian In Franchise History
By Adam McGee
Matthew Dellavedova – 2012, 2016 Olympics
Delly has yet to technically play a game of any sort for the Bucks, but we’re going to go ahead and include him here as that’s set to change very soon.
Dellavedova stood out as one of the most impressive NBA performers at the Rio Olympics, even if his play did tail off a little due to tiredness at the end of the tournament. Unfortunately for Delly, a quarter final exit to the US in London 2012 was followed up by a fourth placed finish in Rio, and as such an Olympic medal still alludes him.
At only 25 years old, Dellavedova is assured to have opportunities to rectify that in the coming years, as well as to build on his Olympic averages of 8.2 points, 5.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Up until this point in his career Dellavedova has only played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, culminating in last season’s championship success, but hopefully he’ll experience plenty more success with the Bucks in the years to come.
