Brought in as a hyper-complementary asset meant to bring the best out of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the shooting-starved Milwaukee Bucks, Mirza Teletovic’s 2016-17 season is hard to look back on as anything but lackluster.
The Bucks weren’t looking for anything more than for Teletovic to continue the voluminous sharpshooting he’d displayed in his previous stops with the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns, where he set an NBA record for three-pointers made off the bench in 2015-16.
Of course, we wouldn’t be here if this effect had continued as planned. Telly’s numbers declined across the board, but his three-point percentage had the most sway, dipping to 34.
