Milwaukee Bucks Best and Worst: November 13 – December 6
By Adam Coffman
Worst: Who is Tony Snell, Really?
Tony Snell was brought to the Bucks to be a Khris Middleton-lite; that is, hit threes, play defense, and generally contribute to the overall culture of length that pervades the roster.
The latter two goals seem to have been accomplished; the Bucks’ net rating is 2.1 points higher with Snell on the court and he has started each game but the season opener, but what hasn’t shone through is the “three” aspect of “three-and-D”.
Snell’s scouting report portrayed a capable outside shooter who struggled in driving the lane, but the player the Bucks have seen is almost the opposite.
Snell is shooting just 30 percent from behind the arc on 5.7 attempts per game, but makes up for this with 68.2 percent shooting from two-point range, albeit on just 2.6 attempts per game.
Our own Ti Windisch covered this at length earlier in the season, but it looks like this will continue to be an issue that requires monitoring going forward.
