ROUND 1: AJ Johnson - Poll Added

[AussieBuck]

Looks like he has passing chops, that's a big tick for me

[BucksFanSD]

Maybe this is what yields the best odds of re-signing Giannis in three years from now. I don't know.

[machu46]

Simons is a pretty good projection for him if he hits.

I beat you to the punch on this. Better luck next time.

[Wonka]

The dude could turn out to be the next Ja Morant for all I care, he still would’ve been available at 33

I'm not trying to start an argument, but if they get Filipowski at 33, would it make any difference if the spots were flipped?

Filipowski at 33 is just fine with me.

I mean, if you’re a Filipowski guy, sure lol

When someone like Shannon or Dunn or someone else in that range inevitably outperforms their selection, we are going to look dumb. That’s really the point. We passed up on guys with NBA level skills to look cutesy and flashy…again.

[drone3]

Starting to come round... He has a great feel for the game and is fast ..something all our rooks are missing

[emunney]

Projected to go 52, 54, 56

Who cares? What does that mean? It obviously doesn't mean it's where he's going to be drafted, right?

Well, we could have traded down and got 5 2nd round picks and still gotten him.

He was drafted at 23 and it's somehow easier to believe the counterfactual that he'd be there at 52 than at any number much closer to where he was drafted in reality?

[htr]

Filipowski or Kolek at top of round two will make our draft look oodles better.

[midranger]

Ray Allen with a terrible jump shot? Sign me up.

Vecenie already said 33 is Oso Ighodaro.

it's the most obvious comparison possible tbh

Ok. Not sure I agree.

[Wonka]

Ray Allen with a terrible jump shot? Sign me up.

Ray Allen minus everything that made him a Hall of Famer! I like that player a lot

[Baddy Chuck]

He shot 40% in the combine corner three shooting drill.

(That's really bad)

(Worse than Edey)

[M-C-G]

This dude was made in a lab! Where they took 50% Brandon Jennings and 50% Marjon and made a basketball player.

[jakecronus8]

Never thought it would be possible to get here but..they might as well have taken Bronny.

A tradition like none other: the Bucks lighting draft picks on fire

Totally fine with that too personally.

Kolek sucks

[machu46]

Given how limited his playing time was in Australia, I decided to dig as much as I could for his stats in high school/AAU/whatever So Cal Academy is. I unfortunately couldn't find totals so the best I could do is take the per game stats/percentages and do sort of a weighted average and just kinda hope that gives sort of an accurate picture.

Including the Australian league in the weighted average, I have him averaging ~16/5 rebounds/3.5 assists per 40 minutes and my best guess is he shot around 41% from the field and 29% from 3. Also almost 3 turnovers per 40 minutes. There's no way this is 100% accurate but it's the best I could do in my search for some concrete numbers.

[RiotPunch]

Dame was instrumental in Simons' development, so there's that.
