Milwaukee Bucks: Assessing Jon Horst’s performance heading into draft night

Re-Signing Tony Snell

Coming off a season where he averaged 8.5 points and shot 40.6 percent from deep, the Bucks offered Tony Snell a four-year, $46 million contract to retain his services.

Snell’s value as a three-and-D player was evident for the Bucks, as he both shot the ball with tremendous efficiency and showed the ability to lock down tough defensive assignments on a nightly basis.

Last season, Snell struggled with consistency during stretches but still closely matched his shooting numbers from his contract year. Defensively, he failed to show the same lockdown mentality from the season before, though. As a whole, Snell’s 2017-18 season was a slight regression.

Investing $46 million over a period of four years is a tough pill to swallow for a player as limited as Snell. Much relies upon his ability to maintain the same level of efficiency shooting the ball from three as well as continue to lock down opposing players on the defensive end.

As well as Snell played during the 2016-17 season, one has to wonder if there were cheaper options available on the market to fill a role as limited as his.
