14. Milwaukee (via Rockets)

Analysis: The Bucks have moved down two spots in the draft, but it shouldn't dramatically effect which player they take. In fact, now that they've added Samuel Dalembert, they have more freedom to draft a shooter at the wing positions. Ross worked out for the Bucks on Tuesday, and while I don't think it was a game-changer, they might opt to take him if Tyler Zeller and Lamb are gone.

Trade Scenarios: The Bucks just pulled off a trade to get Dalembert and move down two spots in the draft. Think they're probably done.

Bucks' Big Board:
1. Tyler Zeller
2. Jeremy Lamb
3. Terrence Ross
4. Terrence Jones
5. Meyers Leonard

Another big man?

After acquiring Dalembert, Bucks general manager John Hammond wouldn’t rule out drafting a center with the 14th overall pick.

It’s quite possible one center whom the Bucks like — Illinois’ Meyers Leonard — could still be available to them.

There is even a chance, an outside one, that Connecticut center Andre Drummond could fall to 14. Some NBA officials told me Wednesday that Drummond, once a projected top four selection, is falling.

Some NBA officials feel Drummond’s landing spot could be Detroit at 9, while some others believe he could slip to Portland at 11.

Yet just as there were indications on Wednesday afternoon that the Kings were resisting the Rockets' overtures for the No. 5 pick, there was yet another name added to that mix of prospects who could be used in a possible deal for Howard or perhaps another star. Sources say Baylor forward Perry Jones made a surprise second visit to Houston on Wednesday at the Rockets' request. While Jones is known to be on the Rockets' radar, sources say Orlando -- which picks at No. 19 when Jones is likely to be gone -- is high on him as well.

Sacramento is among the many teams Houston has been talking to about trading picks, and the Kings -- who have had talks with Golden State about moving back to No. 7 -- have shown some interest in acquiring a big man later in the draft rather than take whichever player falls to them at No. 5. The Rockets have had discussions with top 10 teams involving their leading scorer, shooting guard Kevin Martin, who has one year and $12.9 million left on his contract. Houston also has a quality point guard in Kyle Lowry, who expressed dissatisfaction with coach Kevin McHale last month.

14. MILWAUKEE BUCKS: Terrence Ross, G, Washington

The Bucks would love to see Ross fall to this spot. Then they would have their center (Dalembert) and wing player in a draft coup of sorts. Ross' athleticism and 6-7, 197-pound frame is what they seek. If Ross and Lamb are gone, maybe Terrence Jones is the pick.

I'm leaning this way too at the moment. I think Lamb would have clearly been the top ceiling guy available at 12, if he was there (other than maybe PJIII, who is not on our board from all reports).

I'd still be OK with Ross or T. Jones, but Lamb has been my top target for a while.
