Milwaukee Bucks were not done on Sunday with adding new players to their roster for the 2019-2020 season. Milwaukee added Wes Matthews on a veteran minimum deal to give Milwaukee a veteran shooting guard and more three-point shooting. Milwaukee needed a shooting guard after Malcolm Brogdon departed to Indiana. Matthews joins the Bucks where it is not only his home state team, it is also a return to Milwaukee as a Marquette alum and reunited with Robin Lopez. This is a great addition by Jon Horst.

Wesley Matthews shot an eFG% of 61% in catch and shoot situations including 71% when left open last season.

This is an amazing stat on Matthews last season. With the Bucks having a ‘let it fly’ mentality, a guy who can catch and shoot and knock down open jumpers is key. Those are reasons for Bucks to like the former Marquette star. He has averaged double-digits in scoring for his entire NBA career besides his rookie year. He might not be able to be a direct replacement to Malcolm Brogdon, but Matthews does enough nice things where his talent gets filled in.

There are some concerns about the guard who played for three different teams last season. Most notably, Matthews dealt with an Achilles injury a few years back. He made a miraculous six-month recovery yet he was not the same the player. Even last year, the defense from Matthews did not feel like the same compared to what it was before the injury. Achilles injuries take time though, and it could be a two-year process to heal. Maybe, Milwaukee will get him as he’s fully healthy from his injury.

Jon Horst is having a good Summer. Some people are mad about Brogdon, and I get that. But I would wait until the dust settles on the free agency period. Bucks are probably getting close to being done, yet they could still add some pieces. This roster looks like it’s poised to win another 60 games next season.
