Giannis Antetokounmpo: Analyzing his jump shot progress

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has heard all of the noise regarding his jumper.

Throughout the 2019-20 season, Antetokounmpo has made a point of trying to redefine the perception that he’s a non-shooter or an ineffective shooter, and building upon the foundation he has set little by little playing under head coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff.

Of course, there’s no better reference point to the reigning MVP’s shooting struggles than how he’s historically fared from beyond the arc, considering he’s a 28.5 career 3-point shooter.

This year, though, Antetokounmpo has made significant progress on his shooting stroke from that range of the floor, thanks to his occasional ability to pull up from the top of the key.
