Only obvious one that pops out is Maker over Sabonis but that was like 10 years go and we all thought Maker was KG but maybe older

We all? Didn’t most of us here find the pick laughable save for ESBF who went full meltdown when we sleuthed out Thon’s actual age.

Donte and Brogdan were great picks, Merrill good too but we still didn't get anywhere what we should have put of those.

Rats, forgot about the scrimmage. Probably would have gone. Bring on the season!

That sounds familiar too.. either way it's not an indictment of Horst who came on a few years later lol

Also those good players picked after dj were missed by the next 4 teams that picked too so I can't say that was an obvious miss.

Hammond picks OG over DJ Wilson in 2017. That's what's funny/sad about that draft in particular. There wasn't a more "Bucks DNA" type prospect than Anunoby, and there's no doubt in my mind that draft goes much differently if Hammond stuck around a couple more months.

Per Mike Scotto:

“Over the weekend, the Bucks gauged the trade market on Smith, league sources told HoopsHype. Should Milwaukee not find a suitable trade partner before Monday’s 5:00 p.m. ET roster cutdown deadline, Smith is expected to be waived, league sources said.”

TBF Horst got the one that got away from him in that 2017 draft when he signed 28 year old Anzejs Pasecniks to a two way deal last year.

I could see a 3 way deal with the Detroit team that Smith dropped 20 on last year. Marcus Sasser has completely fallen out of favor there under the new regime after a nice rookie season. I could see the Bucks rerouting him to NO, where he'd be reunited with Troy Weaver, who drafted him. I'll take back any small asset we can get.

Gotta fight back on Donte.

He showed some early promise but for the most part he was poop ass in his time in Milwaukee. The year we traded him he was abysmal.

Would love if one of you guys would do a separate thread examining all the draft picks of the Horst era year by year.

The year we traded him where he played like 15 games coming back from not being able to walk?

Donte was definitely not ass his 2nd or 3rd seasons here. He had warts in his game to be sure like his finishing in the paint but he was a solid rotation player.
