Milwaukee Bucks

Draft Picks: Thon Maker No. 10, Malcolm Brogdon No. 36

On paper, the Bucks are an intriguing team. Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kris Middleton, the list goes on and on with appealing basketball players.

However, the team hasn’t quite meshed well enough to form any sort of success. The selection of Thon Maker adds to that list. Maker is beyond physically gifted, with an impressive skill set.

However, is still beyond raw. The Bucks took the chance as they hope he develops into another version of the Greek Freak. I like the Brogdon pick. He was a fantastic collegiate player, and can be a big time defender for Milwaukee and is an ultimate competitor.

This draft will all depend on how Maker develops as an NBA Player.

Grade: B-

Next: Minnesota Timberwolves
