The Story in 60 Seconds

AJ Green was ranked ninth in the Milwaukee Bucks roster ranking following an impressive shooting season. Green broke Ray Allen's 25-year-old franchise record from 2001 by finishing the season with 232 three-pointers. He registered the third-best three-point percentage among NBA players with at least 500 attempts, trailing only Jamal Murray and Kon Knueppel, while posting a true-shooting percentage of 62.7%.

Despite his elite shooting and playing through an early-season shoulder injury, Green struggled defensively, notably during three-guard lineups featuring Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. Due to defensive limitations and a crowded backcourt, the analysis projects Green will likely compete for rotation minutes off the bench for the Bucks.
