Hit 40 percent or above from deep

It may come as a surprise to some to see how great of a shooter Brogdon has been from long distance since coming to Milwaukee more than two years ago.

After all, questions surrounded rather funky Brogdon’s shot mechanics by draft evaluators and his three-point percentages throughout his four years in Charlottesville fluctuated between underwhelming to near sharpshooter status.

As luck would have it, Brogdon’s three-point capabilities ended up being more towards the latter during his rookie season, seeing that he connected on 40.4 percent of his 193 three-point attempts that year.

While still solid throughout his abbreviated sophomore campaign last season, Brogdon’s marksmanship from three took a slight dip from his first year as he put down 38.5 percent of his 161 attempts from that level of the floor.

With that said, Brogdon flaunted a slight variation in how he launched away looks from long distance, the biggest being his newfound ability to knock down treys off the dribble from time to time (Brogdon made 19 of his 39 pull up three-point attempts last year, per NBA.com/stats).

Hopefully with a clean bill of health throughout all of the season and into the playoffs, we can see the full variety of Brogdon’s deadeye shooting while also being able to see it climb back over the 40 percent mark on the volume of attempts he will surely receive this year.
