3 Lofty individual goals for Bucks' Delon Wright in 2024-25
By Dalton Sell
No. 2 - Shoot north of 37 percent from three
While he won't have a sizeable role offensively, Delon Wright will be tasked with knocking down his perimeter shots when he's got a good look. If Wright has a particular goal in mind numbers-wise, he should strive to bury more than 37 percent of his triple tries this coming season, which is more than an attainable goal.
For his career, he's hit 35.4 percent of his threes. That includes four seasons of shooting 37 percent or better, two above 36 percent and three below 35 percent. His best year came as a rookie back in 2015-16, when he hit 38.5 percent, though it was on just 13 attempts. His worst was in 2018-19, as he sunk a measly 29.8 percent of his threes. Wright has always been a spotty outside shooter.
Something that could help Wright achieve this goal is the amount of talent around him. With players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton, among others, sharing the floor with him, defenses won't be focused on Wright. That means he'll receive plenty of good looks, giving him time to set up and fire with plenty of space.
Playing alongside such talent, plenty of players have had their best shooting seasons with the Bucks, including Malik Beasley just last season. Delon Wright could very well be the next player in line.
