In the latest move of their offseason so far, the Milwaukee Bucks came away with a very solid value deal with the reported addition of wing Pat Connaughton. With that, we dig into what he has to offer and more.

The moves keep on coming and coming for the Milwaukee Bucks as they reshape their roster well ahead of the first season in the Mike Budenholzer era.

It was first reported early Friday afternoon that the Bucks have struck an agreement on a two-year, partially guaranteed deal with sharpshooting wing Pat Connaughton, formerly of the Portland Trail Blazers.

At 25 years old, Connaughton is set to experience his first change of scenery after spending his first three years in the league up in the Pacific Northwest.

However, the writing was etched on the wall regarding Connaughton’s tenure with the Trail Blazers as he was not tendered a qualifying offer before the start of this year’s free agency, thus making him an unrestricted free agent.

As of this writing, the Bucks have yet to make the Connaughton move official and it’ll be a few days, at best, until we see the corresponding move the team makes to open up a roster spot for the Notre Dame product.

And for those wondering the financial terms of the deal, Jeff Siegel of Early Bird Rights pegs it coming in at roughly $3.3 million, with the second year being non-guaranteed as Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania first reported yesterday.

With all of that out of the way, let’s take a look at Pat Connaughton’s NBA résumé so far, what he offers the Bucks at this stage in his game and hand out a final grade for the deal.
