4. Three is worth more than two

Apart from the Houston Rockets, no team takes and makes more 3-pointers than the Bucks. While Antetokounmpo is not a great shooter, Milwaukee more than makes up for this one deficiency in his game by surrounding him with a battalion of sharpshooters including Khris Middleton, Malcolm Brogdon, Brook Lopez, and Tony Snell among others, all of whom are reliable from deep and provide spacing that allows Giannis to drive with ease. While no one of these shooters is a star who can reliably create their offense in the way Antetokounmpo can, they don’t really need to. All they need to do is get open, catch the ball, and shoot it, and that, they can absolutely do.
