Milwaukee Bucks: 3 reasons signing Ersan Ilyasova is a good move

2. Shooting/Floor-spacing

While Ilyasova is not a unicorn, a player who can defend the rim while hitting 3s at a high clip, he is a tremendous perimeter threat on offense. He has made a career for himself by shooting the 3-ball. His career number from deep is a respectable 36.6 percent.

Ilyasova is almost a sure thing on offense, averaging 11.0 points per game in his career. For six of his 10 seasons, Ilyasova has averaged within 1.5 points per game of his career average. He has also shot above 36 percent from deep six out of his 10 seasons in the league.

Numbers like these are going to help the offensive structure of the Milwaukee Bucks. Teletovic will shoot the ball all day if he’s given the green light. Defenses are going to have to respect his shot, putting a decent defender with size on him out on the perimeter.

This in turn has the impact of freeing up the paint which is where Giannis Antetokounmpo does his best work. With this extra space, both he and Eric Bledsoe should be able create more open looks for the rest of the team.

This is going to be crucial for the Bucks to move up the standings next season, giving them the best chance of making it out of the first round.
