Delon Wright signs with Bucks - one year $3.0mm vet min

He needs his own thread. He may be our big off-season move.

Only $2.1 million counts against the cap.

He should actually be able stay on the floor in a playoff setting which I do consider a win for any of our vet min type signings.

I like this a lot. Not a big splash, but he’s a damn steady backup point guard and better than PatBev.

Good defender, can handle the ball. Shot very well in limited minutes in the playoffs last year.
Good signing.

so did we actually need to use part of the TPMLE

or was this a minimum?

He probably gives you what 2021-22 George Hill did. Additive veteran depth guy, but for anyone hoping he can be a playoff difference-maker.....eh. Don't hold your breath.

I think this is more likely than the Bucks needing to cut a ton of salary to give Delon Wright 300k more.

I like it because I think Delon is a playoff caliber player. Probably not a starter but a guy who can give 15-20 off the bench in the playoffs. Something you can't say about most vet min guys

His POA defense, playmaking and ball handling could all be useful in a playoff series depending on the opponent.

Sometimes just not having a super weak link defensively can make a difference.

Delon Wright shot 46% on catch and shoot 3s. He's going to be a Malik Beasley who can actually, legitimately play POA defense.

My thought exactly

Is he nearly as good of a shooter as Beas? I thought he was a pretty low volume guy.

No, and correct. Obviously a far, far better defender though.
