17. Milwaukee Bucks – Harry Giles, F, Duke

GM: Tony Webb; Twitter: @tc_pucks

Milwaukee made strides throughout the season and have a bright future. With the idea that they aren’t going to land a player to push they into competing with Cleveland, I took Harry Giles for potential.

Harry Giles might scare people away with his multiple knee surgeries and limited playing time at Duke. With this pick the Bucks can give time for Giles to grow and add depth to the Bucks front court.

It’s the perfect place for Giles to come into the league as he would not be expected to contribute big minutes or numbers immediately. Also the Bucks know a thing about developing players with history of knee problems (Jabari Parker).
