Milwaukee Bucks: 10 potential veteran minimum NBA free agency targets
By Adam McGee
Ryan Broekhoff
Ryan Broekhoff may be the most interesting option of all on this list, as a Bucks’ interest of sorts has already been confirmed.
Broekhoff has reportedly worked out for Milwaukee, among other NBA teams, in the past week or so, and may be ready for what’s arguably an overdue shot at the NBA considering his outstanding shooting in Europe and at the international level.
An international teammate of Matthew Dellavedova and now Thon Maker, Broekhoff is a player who has likely been on the Bucks’ radar for a while, thanks to Dellavedova’s campaigning.
Broekhoff has already stated his openness to playing for the Bucks, and having made no less than 39.7 percent of his three-pointers in any of his last four seasons and impressed at the 2016 Olympics, there’s little reason to believe he can’t make a seamless transition as an NBA contributor too.
At 27 years old, the Australian wing is at a similar age to Joe Ingles when he made the jump from Europe to the NBA. Ingles has gone on to have an incredibly productive career with the Jazz, and perhaps Broekhoff could do similar if the opportunity breaks his way.
