4. Larry Sanders (15th overall in 2010)

Larry Sanders’ career was cut short, but not due to his inability to play at an NBA level like other guys on this list. Instead, it was related to his mental health. When he was on the court, he was a budding defensive stud and a deterrent at the rim. He was also a good rebounder. The Bucks continue to pay him thanks to the stretch provision, but there’s no saying what his career could’ve been like under different circumstances.

3. Brandon Jennings (10th overall pick in 2009)

Brandon Jennings has given the Bucks a lot of highlights throughout his career. After being selected with the 10th overall pick in 2009, he dropped 55 points against the Warriors in his rookie campaign. He also coined the phrase “Bucks in 6” and even came back at the end of his NBA career for a playoff “run.” He’s not quite NBA material anymore, but he had a solid NBA career.
