Pat Connaughton is every championship contender’s favorite player. A catch and shoot three-point marksman who can bring some value on the defensive side of the ball. There’s a reason that Connaughton was given a three-year $28.2 million dollar contract after the 2021–2022 season. Giannis, after Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, said that of all the shooters that he has played with, Connaughton is his favorite. With all of what Connaughton brings to the Bucks, it was no surprise to see him win the sixth spot with 62% of the vote.
Despite some of the erratic nature of some of his teammates in the playoffs, Connaughton has brought some level of consistency to the Bucks lineup since he joined the team in 2018.
