The overarching theme around Milwaukee Bucks twitter when news broke that the team traded Michael Carter-Williams for Tony Snell was that of boredom. Snell was an obvious temporary replacement for Khris Middleton, who would miss a good chunk of the regular season with a hamstring tear.
It was a good move considering fit, but Snell wasn’t a cause to jump for joy back then. His career with the Chicago Bulls was quiet, and that’s putting it delicately. The former 20th overall pick had only shot over 40 percent once in three seasons with Chicago, and his best scoring season saw him average six points per game.
