Landing Nikola Mirotic was a huge trade deadline steal for the Bucks as they geared up for a deep postseason run. He was averaging 16.7 points per game on 37% shooting from deep in New Orleans when Milwaukee caught hold of him.

During the 14 regular season games (3 of which he started in) he played with his new team, the 27-year-old averaged just 11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. This was his lowest regular season production since his Chicago stint back in 2016-17.

When the Bucks needed help on the offensive end during the playoffs, Mirotic's three-point shooting conversion dropped to an uncharacteristic 28% across the 14 games. He scored just 9.5 points (lower than his career playoff average) on an average despite playing over 21 minutes per game during Milwaukee's mighty postseason run.
