24. Milwaukee Bucks – Nico Mannion, G, Arizona

After somewhat of a disappointing postseason, it’ll be interesting to see what the Milwaukee Bucks do in the offseason regarding their roster. Changes are expected and hopefully, that won’t include moving Giannis Antetokounmpo, but there’s at least a chance it could happen (I suppose).

The expectation is that this team will return with Giannis as its best player (at least), but with a bit of facelift. They’ll likely be looking for an upgrade at the point guard position (and have already been rumored to be interested in Chris Paul). However, adding depth to its backcourt wouldn’t be a terrible idea either.

Nico Mannion would be an interesting option for the Bucks late in the first round. Mannion is coming off a season in which he averaged 14 points and five assists on 39 percent shooting from the field and 33 percent from 3-point range. He’s a lead guard with good size that has playmaking ability.
