1. The Bucks select Aaron Holiday

Milwaukee can go a number of different routes here. Jerome Robinso, Elie Okobo, Donte Divencenzo and Aaron Holiday all have a legitimate chance of being available when the Bucks are on the clock at No. 30.

However, they ultimately decide to go with Holiday. As it stands, Holiday is probably the favorite to be the Bucks pick at No. 17 so this is a perfect situation for Milwaukee. Not only do they shed salary, but they end up with the guy they wanted anyway.

Holiday has proven he can play off or on ball and be effective. He also offers good shooting and can help space the floor for the Bucks. Although he projects as a long-term backup, he could still end up being the additional rotational piece Milwaukee needs.

Well ,there they are. My five bold predictions for the Bucks’ 2018 NBA Draft. They may have been a little out there, but we’ll have to see how they turn out come draft night on June 21.
