Free agent sharpshooter could be perfect Bucks target after recent Doc Rivers comments image

The Milwaukee Bucks are looking to round out their roster, and there could be a perfect fit still waiting in free agency.

Over the past few weeks, the Bucks have been busy trying to rebuild a contending team around Giannis Antetokounmpo. With Milwaukee’s big move being to sign Myles Turner, there is limited flexibility to make any other big splashes.

Of course, going after some free agents on a veteran’s minimum could be a perfect way to add a bit more depth around Antetokounmpo and company. While a few names have been linked to the Bucks throughout this free agency period, one of the most interesting players still on the market is Seth Curry.

As suggested by Dairyland Express’ Nick Halden, Curry could be a perfect fit for the Bucks. Last season, the Bucks had the best 3-point shooting percentage in the league at 38.7%.

Considering Curry is a career 43.3% shooter, he would fit in perfectly in Milwaukee. Recently, Doc Rivers also talked about his vision for next season, featuring a lot of Antetokounmpo bringing the ball up the floor and acting as point guard.

Rivers explained that the key to that working was having plenty of shooters around the two-time MVP. The Bucks coach also said he expected Gary Trent Jr. and AJ Green to have breakout seasons.

With Curry fitting the description of what Rivers is looking for and who he expects to have breakout years, it would be a no-brainer for Milwaukee to target him. He might not be the most glamorous name on the market, but Curry could certainly play a big role for the Bucks.
