I watched some of his games in college last year. Definitely some DAJ in his game. He was completely misused. They never ran a PNR with him rolling . LIKE NEVER. id be happy with him. im hoping they can get creative though and move up!

Like I said before, I see a lot of Middleton in Robinson's game. Not an exciting pick at all, but I'd be fine with it.

We build the team from the ground up. Bud may hate it the first year but would be a breath of fresh air for us fans!!!

Doncic and Bamba/Bridges along with Giannis is a way to start a franchise off right.


I agree but how on earth would we land TWO top 10 picks?


Well our value comes at #17, Bledsoe, Brogdon, Midds and to some extent Maker and Wilson.
I think it can be done with 2 packages of those players and pick.

#17 and Bledsoe could fetch you like a 7-10
Midds, Brogdon and Wilson could fetch you a 4-7

Take out wilson and you probably can get to 3.

There have been so many instances of people coming on here and wildly inflating the trade value of our pieces, but I think this is about as close to true value as I've seen. You get a gold star.

Memphis wants to dump Parsons and compete. Small hope Cleveland could panic.


Bledsoe/Wilson/17 for Hill/8 (Bridges)

Middleton/Henson/Thon for Parsons/4 (Bamba)

Bucks would never have the balls to do the right thing and play the long game though.

Hill
Brogdon
Bridges
Giannis
Bamba

Fortify your bench with Jabari or whatever Jabari brings back in a sign/trade.


ETA: Almost all bad money comes off the books just in time to entice a big FA to come play with that core and Giannis.

In my eyes it's somewhat risky but a better idea than overpaying Middleton and/or Bledsoe and watching Giannis leave after a few 4/5 seed seasons.

If 17 and Bledsoe can move us up into the bottom of the top 10 and we can come away with SGA, I do that in a split second. No question, no thinking needed, just do it.

Cool with any of:
Zhaire
J. Robinson
Musa
Aaron Holiday

I could talk myself into Mitchell Robinson and maybe Huerter. I don't necessarily have a guy I'm all-in on, at least not where we're picking. It would be Bamba or Doncic otherwise. Excited to watch those two guys play.

I am on board...Bridges with Either Doncic/Bamba. Roll Bucks!!!!

If so, I'd be all over a trade of Eric Bledsoe for Harrell and Beverly

This is one of those times BuckPack could prove that he actually still does have some sources.

I feel like they really tightened up after that whole Jabari offer / Woeful thing. I mean, Horsty called their workouts "proprietary information". Listen Horst, you had DJ Wilson on your draft board at 9 last year and like idiots tweeted it out. The only "proprietary information" other teams would look for, is who NOT to draft.

Don't read the board nearly as much as I used to - has there been any inside info or anything similar about who the Bucks might be targeting tonight? Feels like we all had a pretty good idea that Vaughn and Wilson were the targets in previous years :banghead:

The only thing I've really seen along these lines is that someone (I think maybe Gery?) said that the three prospects we've taken out to dinner are Aaron Holiday, Mitchell Robinson, and Mo Wagner.

And one of the posters here apparently attended one of the workouts and one of the Bucks front office people told him that their target at #17 was not in attendance at the specific workout (where DeAnthony Melton was the headliner); seemed like the Bucks were high on Trevon Duval as a possible target in the 2nd round.

Beyond that, there's been some speculation from Steve Kyler that we promised Aaron Holiday and SI and DraftExpress reporting that we're extremely high on Jerome Robinson.

If Bob Williams is there at 17 and the Bucks don't take him, it's entirely possible my clicker goes flying through the TV.


My TV will suffer as well.

Drafting Donte would be such a DJ Wilson pick. Their college production are eerily similar with of course the big couple games at the end.

Looks like it's not clear to the media and other teams who we will pick. I hope it stays that way until draft time.

This post intrigued me to look at their stats. I don't agree with your assessment.
