On August 16, the NBA free agent market, which seemed to have gradually calmed down, was like a huge rock thrown on the calm lake, and layers of turbulence were once again. At this critical juncture where players are frequently moving and all teams are actively making arrangements for the new season, a major news has attracted the attention of many fans and media. Free agent forward Amir Coffey has made a major decision, and he has reached a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to Shams Charania, an authoritative journalist in the industry. This decision officially brought an end to his six-year career in the Los Angeles Clippers.
Coffey, 28, started his basketball career without a smooth start. He was the undrafted in 2019 and was not selected in the highly competitive NBA draft. But he was not discouraged by this, but instead joined the Los Angeles Clippers as a two-way contract with his love for basketball and unremitting efforts. A two-way contract in the NBA means that the player's identity is relatively unstable and there are relatively few opportunities to play, but Coffey is not intimidated by these difficulties. He always gives his all in training and does not miss any opportunity to improve himself. Finally, in 2022, his efforts paid off, winning a formal contract of $11 million for three years. This is not only a recognition of his personal abilities, but also an important turning point in his career.
In the six seasons he played for the Clippers, Coffey played a total of 323 regular season games. Although he is not the core player of the team, he tries his best every minute on the court. He averaged 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Although such data is not very dazzling, it is already a pretty good performance for a role player. What is more worth mentioning is that his three-point shooting percentage is stable at 38.4%. In modern basketball, the importance of three-pointers is self-evident, and the stable three-point shooting ability has given Coffey a place in the team's tactical system.
Coffey's value is clearly reflected on the court, and he is a reliable outside pitcher. During his time with the Clippers last season, he played in 72 games, including 13 starts. In these games, he delivered a record average of 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. As can be seen from the data, his performance in the last season has improved significantly. What is even more impressive is his shooting efficiency, with an overall shooting percentage of 47.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%. Such high shooting efficiency makes him a weapon on the team's offensive end. Whether it is a three-pointer in a fast break or an open three-pointer after receiving a pass from a teammate in a positional battle, he can maintain a high shooting percentage.
The Milwaukee Bucks have always built an offensive system around "Antetokounmpo" Giannis-Antetokounmpo. "Antetokounmpo" is known for his strong inside impact and dominance. His strong attack at the basket can often attract the attention of many opponents' defensive players. And the arrival of Coffey is expected to perfectly play the role of "snap the ball" in this system. When Antetokounmpo attracts defense from the inside, Coffey can get a lot of open shots from the outside. His three-point shooting ability will open up space for the team, create more breakthroughs and pass routes for Antetokounmpo and other teammates, and provide the team's much-needed external fire support. From a tactical perspective, Kofi's addition undoubtedly adds more choices and changes to the Bucks' offense.
