From Undrafted to a $45 Million Fortune: AJ Green's Incredible Journey with the Milwaukee Bucks!
It's a classic underdog story: a player goes from unselected to securing a massive contract. Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green has just agreed to a four-year, $45 million extension with the Bucks, a deal that's fully guaranteed, according to his agent, Matt Bollero.
Green's path to this point is nothing short of remarkable. Imagine going from being undrafted in 2022 to earning a two-way contract, then a standard deal, and now, a substantial long-term contract. This is a testament to his hard work and the Bucks' belief in his potential.
This extension means Green is now locked in with Milwaukee through the 2029-30 season, preventing him from hitting free agency next summer. This move secures a key player for the Bucks' future, and here's why it's a smart investment.
Last season, Green exploded, scoring 541 points, a significant jump from the 406 points he scored in his first two NBA seasons, averaging 7.4 points per game. But here's where it gets interesting: Green is a career 42% three-point shooter. He's maintained at least 40% from beyond the arc in all three seasons of his NBA career. And this is the part most people miss: His 42.7% three-point percentage last season ranked as the sixth-best among players who attempted at least 300 three-pointers, according to ESPN Research.
