Better target for the Milwaukee Bucks, Jae Crowder or Bojan Bogdanovic?
By Corey Moen
The verdict on who the Milwaukee Bucks should pursue
While the Milwaukee Bucks have treaded water in the absence of Khris Middleton, the outside shooting has taken a nose-dive. While it’s fun to watch Giannis put on ridiculous performances, that level of play isn’t sustainable if the Bucks want to go far in the postseason.
Outside shooting is the one area the Bucks need to improve on, and a player of Bogdanovic’s caliber would fit seamlessly in Milwaukee’s offense. He should be their main target.
Milwaukee needs to add more scoring off the bench because they sit 16th in bench points per game this season.
Outside of Bobby Portis, there aren’t a whole lot of offense guys coming off the bench for Milwaukee. MarJon Beauchamp is a good piece for the future, but he’s still learning the NBA, so asking him to drop in 15 to 20 points a game is an unfair ask for a young player.
A good bench helps you win a championship because while you expect the main guys to play well, it’s always the other guys who need to play their best games to win a series and, in turn, win championships.
That’s where I believe adding Bogdanovic would be key for this team because he would fill a hole at 3-point shooting, and his presence off the bench and with the starters at some moments would make the Milwaukee Bucks that much tougher to defend offensively because they need to add another element.
Milwaukee has gone through a rough stretch of games, but I’m confident that general manager Jon Horst will make the moves necessary so that this team competes for a championship this year.
