Milwaukee Bucks: 2018 NBA Draft big board version 1.0
Now that the Milwaukee Bucks 2017-18 season is over, it’s time to look toward the draft. Here’s how the 2018 NBA Draft board shapes out.
The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a heart-breaking loss at the hands of the Boston Celtics. In the first round of the playoffs, Milwaukee was unable to win a game on the road, ending their season after seven hard-fought games.
Instead of sulking, we will now turn our attention forward and focus on the 2018 NBA Draft. After losing (but really winning) a coin flip with the Phoenix Suns, the Bucks hold the 17th overall pick. Given the unique protections they had in place from the Eric Bledsoe trade with Phoenix, the Bucks get to keep their first rounder for at least another season.
After arguably missing on their last three first-round selections, D.J. Wilson, Thon Maker and Rashad Vaughn, Milwaukee desperately needs to hit home on this pick.
This year’s class features some very interesting talent at the top and some nice depth throughout. As the draft gets closer, Dairyland Express will have a lot more pieces on the draft in order to help everyone familiarize themselves with the prospects. For now, let’s take a look at the top 10 (or so) prospects.
