Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal 

First and foremost, it must be said that this is essentially a lateral move for both teams involved. Essentially, they are all prioritizing one thing over another to achieve their goals. 

Regarding floor spacing and defense, the Bucks place a lot of emphasis on shot creation. It is important to note that they are not entirely sacrificing either since Barton is a good defender and can play catch-and-shoot fairly reliably. 

On the other hand, he is a vastly more talented offensive player than either Allen or Hill. There is no doubt that Barton is one of the most creative basketball players in the NBA – he is called “The Thrill” for a reason. 

The Bucks, on the other hand, can afford to lose a little defense and floor spacing in the meantime. All of their stars, including Antetokoumnpo, Khris Middleton, and Jrue Holiday, are exceptional defenders – and two of them are excellent floor spacers.
