For most of the year, Milwaukee Bucks fans were clamoring for AJ Green to get as close to double-digit 3-point attempts per game as he could. As one of the best long-distance threats in the league, Green has always done some serious damage out there. Lately, he’s upped the attempts, but with the Bucks out of the playoffs and their season almost over, it’s coming all too late.<\/p>\n
Bucks, Green are realizing how lethal the marksman can be<\/p>\n
Green is having by far his most productive month of the season, averaging 13.8 points per contest\u2014his previous highest was 11.8 back in October. The driving factor in the uptick in success has been Green’s aggressivness offensively, as he’s heaving 9.8 3-point tries per game this month. Before the month of April, the highest he averaged in a month was 7.8, a whole two tries fewer per game.<\/p>\n
With the late surge, Green is suddenly in line to shatter the Milwaukee Bucks’ single-season 3-point record, held down by Ray Allen since 2001-02. If Green hits three triples in Milwaukee’s final regular season contest, the record will now belong to him. The fact that he’s even within striking distance despite the few rough patches he’s had<\/a> is applaudable.<\/p>\n
