ESPN has predicted the Bucks to select Aaron Holiday in the last couple of mock drafts they’ve done. Holiday appears to be the perfect compliment at the point guard position given the talent Milwaukee already has on their roster.

He doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be successful, as he has a great outside shot that allows him to be a threat on the perimeter. This floor spacing is critical, as Milwaukee already relies on Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton as their primary playmakers.

He’s also gotten better all three seasons at UCLA and should continue on that path. With Eric Bledsoe set to be a free agent after this season, Holiday could also prove to be his successor as the Bucks try to stay below the luxury cap.
