3. Joe Harris

Joe Harris is the best shooter on this list. Hands down. And that’s what makes him so valuable to a team like the Bucks. Last season, Harris knocked down a career-high 41.9 percent of his three-point shots. That was a nice step up from his 38.5 percent the year before and he appears to be trending in the right direction.

At 6-foot-6, Harris would be the perfect candidate to come off the bench for the Bucks and spark the unit. He thrives playing off the ball and is extremely active, forcing his defender to chase and chase. Head coach Mike Budenholzer would’ve been able to use his skills in a deadly way.

Harris got paid for his outside shooting, signing a two-year, $16 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets. That appears to be a lot of money, but it’s a shorter contract than what Milwaukee signed Ersan to. The Bucks easily could’ve afforded that deal and still signed someone like Lopez. Another missed opportunity.
