There are very few elements of the Milwaukee Bucks’ game that haven’t been immensely impressive so far this season. The Bucks are a juggernaut offensively and defensively, but still they’re not quite perfect.
Those who’ve watched the Bucks closely will be very much aware about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s difficulties at the free throw line, and that storyline will likely only become even more important as the season progresses.
The truth, though, is that Milwaukee’s issue with taking full advantage of their freebies stretches beyond the MVP frontrunner, and trickles down throughout much of the rest of roster.
It goes without saying that volume dictates that Antetokounmpo’s misses are comfortably the most impactful of any Buck, but it doesn’t mean the cumulative effect of role players missing on their occasional visits is entirely inconsequential either.
