The Milwaukee Bucks apparently want to bring in another dynamic scorer and playmaker to their fold to add to their core of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday. This, they made clear when they reportedly tried to trade for All-Star Bradley Beal.

However, with Beal landing in Phoenix, the Bucks must now regroup and set their eyes on these veteran wingmen who bring with them both perimeter pop and a ton of experience.

Bojan Bogdanovic

The 34-year-old shooting forward is looking like the odd man out on a Detroit Pistons squad that is rebuilding with young, tantalizing prospects. The savvy veteran averaged 21.6 points on stellar shooting percentages that included making 41 percent of his shots from outside the arc. This type of accuracy could be of significant importance to the Bucks, whose offense heavily relies on Giannis driving to the basket and other players spotting up for threes as a result of the space the Greek Freak’s gravity generates.

Bogdanovic’s ability to stretch the floor and be a threat from deep would help Milwaukee bolster their already-impressive offensive arsenal, furthering their hopes of making a championship run next season.

Buddy Hield

The sharpshooter of the Indiana Pacers has been involved in numerous trade rumors, and for good reason: his perimeter proficiency (shot 42.5 percent from three this season) would be of great help to tons of NBA teams, including the Bucks. 

With his contract expiring next season, now would be an excellent time for the Bucks to make a call to the Pacers and try and swoop in for Hield’s services. His ability to stretch the floor would open up so much more space for Giannis, Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday.
