The Milwaukee Bucks would count themselves very fortunate to land any one of these five players in the upcoming 2018 NBA Draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks hold the 17th overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft and will certainly look to hit a home run (per usual).

In drafting Rashad Vaughn, Thon Maker and D.J. Wilson in the first round over the last three years, the Bucks are dangerously flirting with disaster. They can’t go too much longer without getting a valuable contributor on a rookie contract. Especially given their current salary cap situation which sees them maxed out pending the restricted free agency of Jabari Parker.

The 2018 draft is fairly deep, meaning the Bucks should have a good chance to grab a contributor around the halfway mark. Of course, a trade is always possible as Milwaukee may look to shed some of their bad contracts in the name of John Henson, Matthew Dellavedova or others.

However, if they decide to keep the pick, these five players should be on top of their draft board if they are still available.
