10. Milwaukee Bucks

Pick: Jakob Poeltl, C, Utah 

The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be fishing for a big-time center in free agency, but that doesn’t mean they can’t draft one, too. With the way that the board fell, the best center in the draft is still available. That’s exactly where the Bucks will go in the draft.

Jakob Poeltl isn’t going to turn many heads in a gym, but he is one of the most complete players (considering his position) in the draft. He’s a big that can rebound, defend (in the post) and can even score the basketball. He has his limitations in open space as a defender, but his size is valuable enough to take a chance on at this point in the draft.

The Bucks need a center. They get one.
