The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we learn more about Brook Lopez‘s growing practice of making defenses pay by attacking the basket off of dribble drives for fear of what he can do from long range.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we learn more about Brook Lopez’s growing proclivity to attack opposing matchups off the dribble from the three-point line, the Wisconsin Herd officially add Shevon Thompson to their roster before their tilt versus the Long Island Nets and much more.

Plenty has been made about Lopez’s individual three-point revolution and rightfully so, but the former Stanford Cardinal’s slow-motion skilled driving to the basket has gradually become a featured element in his play. Per NBA.com/stats, Lopez is finishing 63.2 percent of his 38 driving field goal attempts to this point in the season.
