Guys that interest me projected around #17 are Robert Williams, Gary Trent, and Zhaire Smith. Don't know much about Melton but emunney seems to be pretty tuned into these things and has a pretty good eye for talent, IMO.

I'd also be interested in a trade up to get Wendell Carter.

If we're trading up I want Bridges. The Mikal one.

Bamba is the guy I'd want in a trade up. He could end up being Mutombo with a jumper. Scary potential

So the bucks are keeping this year’s pick. I can’t wait to see how they f*** this up. On the edge of my seat.

He seems an awful lot like a young Whitehead - who was a high 2nd roung pick by Sacto the same year they picked Cousins. Boom, bust, or both.

I'm pretty clueless about these guys when it comes to NBA potential, so I opened the first credible-ish mock draft I could find and scrolled down to pick 25. It was Jacob Evans, and that's who I'm convinced the Bucks will reach for and take with #17.

Just gotta identify the late blooming soft big man with a serviceable jump shot who looked really good against college competition for one or two months.

Best shooter available is more likely Shamet, who I would recommend, or Trent, who I would not recommend. We need shooters but we don't need guys who can't do anything but shoot.

Yea I honestly have no idea. Saw in the “film” that he’s supposed to be a solid/confident shooter so I threw it out there.

Honestly wouldn’t mind packaging this pick in a trade. Not really inspired by this draft overall.
