Kevin Knox, the freshman out of Kentucky, comes in at No. 1 on this list due to his upside.

Despite having an up and down year in college, he has a plethora of untapped potential that could put him over the top. Don’t be surprised if he’s the best player on this list in five years.

For the Bucks, Knox could replace Jabari Parker as a score-first forward coming off the bench. He’s that good. Some people compare him to former Buck Tobias Harris given his scoring prowess.

If Milwaukee selects Knox at pick No. 17, don’t be surprised if they allow Parker to walk in free agency as well.
