What the Los Angeles Lakers can learn from the Milwaukee Bucks:
The Milwaukee Bucks have showcased how deadly a team can be when the “other guys” are consistent shot-makers, especially from behind the arc.
Milwaukee is 10th in 3PM per game in the playoffs, while the Lakers were 15th (11.3 and 9.8, respectively). The rankings were 5th and 25th for the regular season (14.4 and 10.9).
With Khris Middleton, P.J. Tucker, Pat Connaughton, and usually Jrue Holiday, most of the time Milwaukee has multiple legitimate long-distance shot-making threats on the court at any given time.

The Bucks have also shown how invaluable having a big man like Brook Lopez is, as he has proved to be a real issue for opposing teams and a weapon for Milwaukee with his catch-and-shoot three-point ability in the corners, as well as with his presence in the paint.
LA needs to find at least one true, established, in their prime, deadeye this offseason. Not another Danny Green situation, but a real stud who can provide reliable scoring relief from behind the three-point line for next season.
