Who They Drafted

The Bucks certainly love them some length. DJ Wilson is another in a series of draft picks over the last couple of years with above-average length. In many ways, Wilson is a wing in big man's body (it's not surprising that he experienced a late growth spurt from guard size to his current height) much more comfortable in on the perimeter that in the paint, on both ends of the court. Wilson is a capable shooter (career .363% on 135 career three-point attempts) and is comfortable handling the ball and attacking in a straight line to the basket, he is quick and skilled enough that he should be able to take traditional bigs off the dribble, especially if they respect his jumper. Though he had good numbers finishing at the rim last season, there is some question about his ability to finished against stronger players and contact, as Wilson hasn't shown himself to be considerably physical plus Michigan's well spaced offense makes finishing easier overall. Defensively, again Wilson is better on the perimeter, using his mobility while in the paint he struggles with bigger, more physical players and is a poor rebounder. His length allows him to run into some shot blocks, but he isn't a natural rim protector and will also need to work on his technique on the perimeter. All in all, Wilson is a good fit on the Bucks who can use his offensive skill and shooting in their peculiar brand of offense while switching heavily like they do will benefit Wilson's skills more than a traditional defense. With Wilson, Malcolm Brogdon, Khris Middleton, and Thon Maker the Bucks have several players that can both switch and make threes, a deadly combination when played alongside Giannis Antetokoumpo.
In the second round, the Bucks drafted one of my favorite players, SMU's wing Sterling Brown. Brown is an ideal modern NBA role player, a strong, physical wing that plays with tremendous toughness and energy that can also shoot. In the Bucks system, Brown will do a lot of switching and can legitimately defend both guards and forwards while also spacing the floor for Antetokoumpo and running with him in transition. Brown might only peak as a rotation role player but his skillset is so valuable in the NBA these days.

What They Need Going Forward
Besides a healthy Jabari Parker, the biggest thing the Bucks can do this offseason is bring back Tony Snell and try to move some of their backup centers, Spencer Hawes and John Henson. The Bucks probably won't be looking to add much, but another wing that create his own shot, because believe it or not Michael Beasley was actually pretty helpful for them last season. They could also, perhaps, use a true power forward (not a center or combo forward) that might give them some more versatility when it comes to going small.
