Tony Snell; G

2016-17 Per Game Stats: 8.5 pts, 3.1 rbs, 1.2 ast, 0.7 stl, 3P%: 40.6%

Predicted 2017-18 Per Game Stats: 10.4 pts, 3.5 rbs, 1.2 ast, 0.9 stl, 3P%: 42.2%

Fresh off signing a four-year, $46 million contract to remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, Tony Snell enters his fifth year in the NBA with his sights set on proving his worth.

After being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bulls before the start of the 2016-17 season, Snell found himself in a large role right away with the absence of Khris Middleton. Snell remained in the starting lineup throughout the season with the injury to Jabari Parker, and showed that he is more than capable of being a good NBA starter.

With the Bucks looking to take more threes this season, Snell should be perfect in a limited offensive role. Not known as a playmaker or a rebounder, Snell’s rebounds and assists should remain similar to last season.

However, his points and three-point percentage should rise, as he is best suited as a pure spot-up shooter in the Bucks’ offense.
