The mid-range game continues to lose its relevance in today’s NBA and the Milwaukee Bucks stand as no exception.
The arrival of head coach Mike Budenholzer ushered in a new day and a new way for the Bucks to operate offensively as they focused on letting it fly and attacking the basket. By doing so, the Bucks’ offense has since played at an incredible efficiency, all typified by their superstar and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
While the Bucks’ five-out, motion-based system has come naturally to the team as a whole, there was one notable figure who underwent a period of adjustment last season, that being Khris Middleton.
