Milwaukee Bucks: Veteran wins a dubious title as the worst team shooter in 2025 Playoffs

Milwaukee Bucks are fully in season after losing to Indiana Pacers. Because the team evaluates the upcoming free agents’ decisions for several key players, in particular one veteran did not cope well to support in their case and registered as the least competent team offensive player after the season.

Bobby Portis has the worst real shooting of Milwaukee Bucks

Big Man Bobby Portis veteran enters the last year of his contract and has the option of a player with just below $ 13.5 million. Regardless of whether Portis accepts his option, Milwaukee may decide to leave him, taking into account the lack of recent success. Portis did not do much to strengthen its place as a key element of the team this season.

In five matches with Indiana Pacers Portis was the least competent team scorer in terms of “real shooting”. Calculated by considering two -point trials, three -point attempts and free throws, real shooting is not an ideal statistics, but it can still show the relative value of the player’s offensive effectiveness. Among the players who averaged the double figs after the season, Portis had one of the lowest effective goals in just 51%.

Portis scored an average of 14 points per match in five competitions this season, but needed 68 shots to achieve this number. He scored below 36% of three points, even 50% of two, and only 44% from the floor. With a larger volume of three, below the average number closer to the basket and only 0-1 from the free kick line, the real shooting of Portis leaves much to be desired.

This year, Portis dealt with this year, including the need to sit with a suspension of 25 games, which meant that he returned to action just before the start of the season. Although it seems that in this regard it is not appropriate, in fact Portis was one of the many bucks who played much below their standard this season.

Bobby Portis was not the only disappointment for Milwaukee Bucks

While the testing of real shooting with a minimal PPG requirement confirms Portis as the least effective team scorer, it is a bit unfair to award Portis the title of the least competent shooter. Damian Lillard and Kyle Kuzma deserve to be considered in this conversation.

Kuzma has been widely recognized as a huge disappointment this season. His rotten real shooting of 38.5% accurately reflects his inability to influence the team on a crime. Kuzma had more shots than the points scored in the Playoff phase and had as many fouls as arrows. After the almost 15 match in Kuzma, on average, on average, only 5.8 for a competition in Play -Ffs. You can’t find a way to positively turn the kuzma performance.

The ghostly season Lillard has an vital context of returning from blood clots in the shoulder after the start of the season. After the disappearance of the first game, he was a full choice for two and three matches before he spilled his Achilles early in the fourth game. Nevertheless, the 7th PPG Lillard saved him to recognize him as a volume scorer, but his 34.9% real shooting indicates his ineffectiveness.

Milwaukee has many questions that should be asked this summer. The Portis player option represents a gigantic one, and the team’s ability to go from Kuzma or Lillard may indicate how much Milwaukee reset will go before the next season.
