Biggest boom or bust guy in the draft. Swing for the fences. I like it.

Well, that's certainly not a boring pick. I had him rated 10th, so I think that's pretty good value, but he's so boom-bust I think we should have acquired another pick if we were going to take him. Maybe they still will, although that's not the Bucks' MO.

This guy could be the next Durant, or Tskitishvilli. It's hard to tell.

Well, you have to assume he won't see the court much in our chase for the 8th seed.
Go Bucks!

Probably pretty easy to tell he won't be the next Durant lol

High risk, high reward. I'm cautiously optimistic for the long run, not expecting much right away. Doesn't fit Herb's mandate so I'm expecting a lot of free agency action.

It's not Larkin so I'm happy.

I like Giannis' potential but he scares the hell out of me too

Why get a guy who isn't ready to help us win now if we're going for win now ?

I like it but we contradict ourselves every freaking year.
