I don't hate anyone of that. Feel like Huerter and Khyri are reaches but good fits.

Is it bad that I have nightmares about last years draft night and what could happen this year? I'm expecting the worst.

I would prefer Robert Williams, Zhaire Smith, Khyri Thomas or Lonnie Walker. I'm not overly excited about any of them but I wouldn't be mad.

I'm still haunted by the DJ Wilson pick, what an absolute collosal failure. The Vaughn pick I didn't mind so much I thought he would pan out although he just couldn't stay consistent, Bud would have turned Vaughn into a usable player, I just can't see that happening with DJ.

It's the worst. With Thon we've at least got 2 playoff series our of him. And there was only a couple of guys after him that we could've had.

With DJ there's like a dozen guys we could have taken.

DJ pick was far worse on paper and in actuality than either the Vaughn or Thon pick. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Time to cross my fingers all day hoping Jontay stays in the draft.

Jacob Evans and De'Anthony Melton would be my 2 "DJ Wilsons" this year. No business either 2 has being drafted in the 1st round imo, although I wouldn't be shocked if both turned out better than Wilson longterm. Chandler Hutchison maybe, too.

Yeah I gotta say I've "looked into" about 3 guys from the entire late lotto+ pool with Melton being one and he does nothing for me. Said it earlier, he seems like a poor mans Delon Wright.

DJ was such a bad pick at the time...and even worse in hindsight

All I see on social media are these guys working out right now....grinding in the gym.....and all DJ Wilson is posting about is his hair, shopping sprees, his swagger, jet skis, etc. Not one minute has he posted anything about him grinding in the gym,working on his craft.

He just keeps getting worse and worse. He's quickly become one of my least favorite Bucks. I hope like hell we can trade him this summer. I'll take a top 55 protected second for him even.

I'm really intrigued by Khyri Thomas. I don't like De'Anthony Melton or Josh Okogie.

That's all I've got so far. Who else do I look at.

Porter Jr. all the way down at 15? Someone would trade up before then.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
