Wes shot 9-30 in the playoffs last year and had the lowest PER of any SG averaging 25MPG or more in the league in the entire 2019 playoffs. SB started playoff games in Brogdon's absence all while DD was proving every chance he was given that he couldn't shoot all year long so I think it's a moot point that SB at a minimum begins the year ahead of DD on the depth chart. This and you're saying 33 year old George Hill's production is going to go up with additional minutes? Since when do 30+ year old, non superstar players get better with more minutes in the NBA? Not many NBA insiders would argue with me that Brogdon's D and is solidly above average and much better than an about to be 33 year old, declining Wes Matthews' D.
Step away from the MU connection and you'll realize this was a depth move, not a move for Wes to play big minutes and the fact that he signed for the league minimum seems to validate that point. Zero risk for the Bucks and if he's fallen off the cliff by the time training camp rolls around, very easy to move on.
