8. Dale Ellis

In an illustrious and lengthy career, Dale Ellis established himself as one of the very best three-point marksmen in the NBA. Although he was another who didn’t play for Milwaukee long-term, his time in the Cream City proved to be no exception.

Ellis played the best part of two seasons as a Buck, with a season-and-a-half of play coming near the tail end of his prime at the start of the 90s, and a further half season arriving in his final year in the NBA.

Ellis’ primary spell with the Bucks came right towards the end of the good times as such, with his only full season marking the start of Milwaukee’s eight year post-season drought. Still, Ellis played well and the responsibility can’t be placed at his feet.

Best known for his time with the Seattle SuperSonics and Dallas Mavericks, Ellis’ stint with the Bucks shouldn’t be glossed over. The Georgia native averaged 15 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists as a Buck, while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 41.3 percent from deep.
