Milwaukee Bucks

Priority: Adding Frontcourt Depth 

The Bucks have the No. 10 pick in the NBA draft this year, but the more concern for them should be signing a small forward in free agency. Many times throughout the season, Milwaukee would take Giannas Antetokoumpo, their starting small forward, and allow him to play point guard.

This was a intelligent and useful strategy, but it leaves them thin at small forward.

In my mind, the Bucks top priority should be Nic Batum.

Not only would it be a good fit, but Batum plays an unselfish game that would help Milwaukee’s scorers to excel. The No. 10 pick is also a high priority as they are predicted to draft Maruqese Chriss. This is a perfect example of how free agency and the draft will both largely impact the success of a team next season.

Look for Milwaukee to be a contender in the East for a playoff bid.
