The Milwaukee Bucks were surely glad to have one of the most dynamic players off the bench back in the fold, re-signing guard/forward Tony Snell on Monday after initially agreeing to a four-year, $46 million deal back on June 30.

General manager Jon Horst had some very kind words for the 25-year-old, who became a difference-maker for the team after his three seasons with the Chicago Bulls.

“Tony was an integral part of our team’s improvement last season and we’re excited to re-sign him,” said General Manager Jon Horst said through a team release. “He is a tireless worker, a terrific teammate and a man of great character. We look forward to having him back with the Bucks as we continue to build toward a championship.”

Snell posted career-highs with 8.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists while playing a career-best 29.2 minutes per game, securing 80 starts in the process. The New Mexico standout also flourished from beyond the arc, drilling 40.6 percent of his attempts, along with a solid 45.5 field goal percentage during the 2016-17 season after he was acquired by the Bucks in October.

“I’m grateful to the Bucks ownership and everyone in the organization for believing in me,” Snell said in the team release. “We’re building something special here and I’m fortunate to work with great coaches and teammates. I can’t wait to get the season started and continue our positive momentum from last season.”

Snell is one of the best examples of the new three-and-D mold that has become not only popular, but indispensable in today’s NBA, proving to be a worthy starter after taking over for shooting guard Khris Middleton, who suffered an injury prior to the start of last season.
