Portis will likely have a similar role to last season, where he started 59 games for the oft-injured center Brook Lopez.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does This Mean for the Future?<\/h3>\n<p>Portis will look to continue to provide superstar <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/antetgi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a><\/strong> with his excellent floor spacing. The energetic big man shot 39.3 percent from three this season, attempting a career-high 4.7 per game. Portis is also a great defensive and offensive rebounder, averaging a career-high 9.1 rebounds per game this season. The Arkansas product was the fourth-highest scorer on the Bucks last season and can provide instant offense and solid defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobby Portis signed with the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday.
