Milwaukee Bucks: Key Takeaways From Win Over Indiana Pacers – October 19

Bench Delivering Shooting

The arrival of Tony Snell has added a different dimension to Milwaukee’s roster shape, but as he battles a minor injury, the rotation itself is still in a shape of flux.

On Wednesday night, there were positive signs from those who are expected to settle into second unit roles as the year progresses though.

Mirza Teletovic started on this occasion, but if he’s to be called upon as a second unit scorer throughout the year, he gave exactly the type of performance Milwaukee will look to see from him again. Previously lacking players who could not only make three-pointers, but would be happy to take them in volume, the Bucks could only have been satisfied as the Bosnian scored 14 points while making 3-8 shots from distance.

Having shot 42 percent from distance in his preseason action, Jason Terry also seems up to the challenge of delivering shooting for the Bucks, even at the age of 39. Terry picked up six points of his own against Indiana, including a three quickly after his initial introduction.

Then, as for rookie Malcom Brogdon, although the Virginia man has been asked to do a lot relative to his experience, he showed his own glimpses of getting a handle on the NBA range on Wednesday. Brogdon shot 4-9 from the field, including 1-2 from distance.

With spacing challenges still a factor in Milwaukee’s starting five, they’ll need all the help they can get from a bench who at least in preseason, seem as if they might be up to the challenge.
