Giannis Antetokounmpo, SF Greece (15)
The Bucks have a lot of question marks on their roster, including basically their entire backcourt entering free agency, so it was interesting to see them take project like Antetokounmpo who could be years away from NBA minutes. I understand the idea, this is a weak draft and Antetokounmpo has star potential, despite the risk, but the Bucks aren't exactly rebuilding yet, and yet they also aren't sniffing contention, just stuck in the middle again.
Second Round
Nate Wolters, PG South Dakota State (38)
As much as I question the Antetokounmpo pick, I love this pick. Nate Wolters is a perfect back-up point guard who is crafty and talented offensively. He has great size and can really shoot the ball and score and pass. He won't ever be a star, or perhaps even a starter, but Wolters should have a solid NbA career.

PG: Brandon Jennings (RFA)/Nate Wolters
SG: J.J. Redick (UFA)/???
SF: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute/???
PF: Ersan Ilyasova/John Henson
C: Larry Sanders/Ekpe Udoh
