Milwaukee Bucks Summer League Preview: July 8 vs Dallas Mavericks
By Adam McGee
Shooting improvements needed
More than a little surprisingly for a game they won by 27 points, the Bucks shot the ball incredibly poorly against the Pistons.
In short, it’s something they’d be unlikely to get away with again, as not only did Milwaukee struggle in terms of their efficiency across the floor, but they attempted an incredibly low number of three-pointers too.
With only D.J. Wilson knocking down more than a single three-pointer, the Bucks went 4-of-19 from behind the three-point line on Friday night, while also struggling from the field (45.8 percent) and the free throw line (68.9 percent).
DiVincenzo would certainly help with those woes, but the Bucks will also look for more from reliable and capable shooters like Sterling Brown, James Blackmon Jr. and Jordan Barnett.
