9 prospects the Milwaukee Bucks could take in the NBA Draft
By Todd Welter
Milwaukee Bucks Draft Target: Johnny Davis, Small Forward, Wisconsin
CBS Sports’ David Cobb thinks the Wisconsin Badger star is going to fall to Milwaukee. Most mock drafts have Davis as a lottery pick, so if Davis falls, it would be the shock of the draft.
Shooting 30.6% from the three-point range is one reason Cobb thinks Davis’ stock will plummet. If Davis is still on the board, Horst better not waste time calling in the pick.
While Davis shot poorly from three his sophomore year at Madison, he did knock down 38.9% of his long-distance shots in his freshman year. Granted, he only attempted 1.2 threes a game that year.
While there are questions about Davis’ shooting ability, he is an excellent defender who can also get to the rim.
Davis is a bit of a throwback player as he can knock down mid-range shots. That shot has become a lost art in the NBA. It can still be a useful scoring weapon if used correctly in offensive sets.
It is doubtful he falls this far but if Davis is there, this would be the steal of the draft.
Milwaukee Bucks Draft Target: Dyson Daniels, Combo Guard, G-League Ignite
NBADraft.net’s Derek Best is thinking the Bucks will take 6’6″ playmaker. He put up 11.3 points per game in the G-League but his three-point shot needs work.
Although a lot of his game needs work come to think about it, he has the tools to be an excellent player in the NBA.
He possesses the ideal size to be a really good defender. If he can improve his shot, he could fill the Bucks’ need at having more three-and-D players in the rotation.
Daniels might not be ready to contribute right away but he has all the tools to work his way into being a solid contributor or more down the road.
Daniels is another possible lottery pick so if he falls to 24, the Milwaukee Bucks would be getting great value.
