The Milwaukee Bucks have been creating a great system around potential MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo. By adding a plethora of 3-point shooters around Giannis, they have transformed into one of the best teams in the league.

Giannis has more freedom than ever to attack the rim now that he has teammates around him that can spread the floor. Milwaukee is second in the NBA for 3-point makes per game, which is much better than their last season ranking of 27th.

The Bucks have improved their 3-point shooting even more by adding Nikola Mirotic. Mirotic is a guy who has excelled at being a stretch four and really opened things up for Anthony Davis when he was in New Orleans.

Expect to see Mirotic have a similar effect on Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. With his pure shooting ability, Mirotic will help the Bucks continue to stampede through the Eastern Conference en route to their best playoff run in years.
