Confirming reports over the weekend, the Milwaukee Bucks officially announced the signing of former Marquette and Brown Deer High School star Steve Novak this morning. Here's the soundbite from GM John Hammond:
"Steve has always been a terrific shooter from distance," said Hammond. "He's a great teammate who can provide some veteran leadership to our young roster, and we're excited to welcome him back to Milwaukee."
The Bucks will be the 32-year-old Novak's ninth team since being drafted 32nd overall by the Rockets in 2006, though it bears mentioning that he played just 221 minutes combined for the Jazz and Thunder over the past two seasons.
