Playing predominantly as a spot-up option off of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s gravity, Malcolm Brogdon made 42 percent of his three-pointers during his final season with the Bucks. That number plummeted to 32 percent with the Pacers last season for a few explainable reasons. For one, only 20 percent of his attempts from deep last season were wide open, according to NBA.com. In 2018-19, with a dominant drive-and-kick force serving as the fulcrum of Milwaukee’s offense, that mark was over 25 percent. Moreover, with greater on-ball responsibility, Brogdon also had to be more of a self-starter, attempting over 20 percent of his threes off-the-dribble, compared to just eight percent in Milwaukee.
