Why The Milwaukee Bucks Do The Deal 

Let’s take Robinson’s word – to an extent. Let’s imagine that upon joining the Bucks, he’ll be given the leeway to shoot threes. 

After all, if he’s replacing Lopez, he’ll have to. Here’s the thing – Lopez has been shooting threes longer than he’s been shooting them well. Robinson would only have to clear some modest benchmarks before he was able to replicate Lopez’s role in that regard. 

In a best-case scenario, Robinson can do even more. Imagine if he’s got hidden ball-handling skills.

The two-headed monster of Robinson and Giannis Antetokoumnpo ought to strike terror in the hearts of rival NBA teams.

Still, as long as Robinson can knock down a modest percentage of a modest number of threes, this deal ought to work for the Bucks. All told that feels like a gamble worth making. 

Should the Knicks risk watching Robinson improve elsewhere?
