Milwaukee Bucks: The Giannis Era - Page 5 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Kind of like Clowney with the NFL draft, it can only hurt their stock. Sure, the media might rip them, but they could literally sit at home until the draft and become a top 3 pick.

who do we want the BUCKS to take?

Wiggins or Embiid seem like the obv 2... Is there anyone that can potentially climb that board in between now and the draft?

saw where Lavine had a 46" vertical at his Lakers workout, hopefully the BUCKS don't fall for that crap

Embiid would be great if we knew he could stay healthy. A big man with back issues is a huge red flag. If they take him, he turns into Oden. If they don't, he turns into Olaguwan. Typical Bucks draft...

My only worry with Wiggins would be position. Do you play him at sg? Or is he more of the slasher/sf type? In which case, we have Giannis already.

Can't miss with anyone, really. With this team, shooting for the stars is what they should be doing though. Parker is the most nba ready though, imo.

I don't like Parker. NBA ready doesn't mean anything to the Bucks, they aren't going anywhere next year. I think a front court of Embiid and Sanders would be awesome, if both of them could get it together. Wiggins has high upside and I think you can play both Giannis and Wiggins on the floor together. I think Wiggins can guard 2's no problem.

Bucks also have 3 second round picks which is great in a deep draft. Shabazz Napier may slip into the second round which would be awesome if the Bucks could pick him up.

With 4 picks in this solid of a draft the Bucks absolutely have to hit big on someone.

Embiid would be great but I only want to draft him if we trade some of our bigs.

Wiggins obviously could be great but he might have highest bust %.

Exum could be our guy at #2 if we are ok with Wolters being a backup and Knight moving to SG or being traded. Imo I take Exum and trade Knight asap

I see Embiid falling. Conflicting reports on his back and the fact he's a big, makes it a huge risk. Hasheem Thabeet 2.0? Reminds me of him. Guy has only played half a season. Please don't take him!

Rumors swirl that Sanders/Knight go to Sac for 8th pick/Mcklemore. I'd like it if that meant getting Exum. But I think number two is too high for him. Him saying months ago he wanted to go to the Lakers worries me as well. Already has stars in his eyes.

I would be so happy with that trade.

31st pick: Shabazz Napier
2nd pick: Embiid
8th pick: ?

Napier(wolters) / McLemore / Giannis (Middleton) / Henson / Embiid

And still have 8th pick..could take Ennis instead of Napier. Gordon could be sick but poor scorer like Giannis make them a poor fit. Staskus could be sick

Either way I'm happy now. No need to stress, just sit back and enjoy it. Took off work for the draft, gonna be at the Bucks Summerfest party for it.

Rumor that Parker tanked his Cavs workout because he wants to go to Milwaukee!

As I see it.. we need to move Henson/Ilyasova - let Parker/Ingelis take their spots on the depth chart.

Use those two guys to upgrade the guard positions.

Wolters has at least given me hope, but for this year I'd like him to be the first guard off the bench. Knight I am kind of over, I don't know if he'll be a quality starter as a PG or SG. Better bench sparkplug.

For this year, I'm cool upgrading over Mayo and getting a SG or moving Knight for a better PG.

Seems like Bucks certainly have something going on since we have very few guards!

Loving Parker and the buzz he has created around the city already. The Bucks are relevant again!

Idk much about the other two. I really wanted them to take Thanasis and Glen Robinson III though.

We def need to shed some of the dead weight and bring guys in that we can all grow with. I'd trade Mayo for anything at this point. Henson I really like still. Illyasova can go to a contender, as he deserves it, but he just makes too much.

PS-Shocked as hell the Sixers took Embiid. Still don't get it (Noel).

Love Parker + Inglis picks. Don't know anything about O'Bryant but I trust our staff in drafting.

I am very glad we didn't take Thanasis - I think he's overhyped and probably worse than his draft spot.

GR3 would have been cool.

Our back court is awful though, I wish we upgraded there. I really hope we move any of Knight/Ersan/Henson/Sanders/Pachulia/Delfino/Mayo and get some upgrades to the back court.

This JKidd news scares the **** out of me. If the Bucks give up a first rounder for him I might have to quit. Rumor has it that the Bucks owner is really good friends with JKidd so there is a serious chance this may actually happen. I would like JKidd as a coach (I'm not a fan of Larry Drew) but giving JKidd full control of the team scares me a bit because if he can leave the Nets this abruptly he could easily do the same to the Bucks.

I want Kidd as a coach over Drew, if that's the option. But cmon, don't give up a draft pick. Don't give him control of operations. Give the Nets Mayo.

My dream scenario for this situation is that we get JKidd as head coach only and we send the Nets Mayo and Ersan.

Nets rejecting second round pick offer. Idk why. No way Kidd or Drew are retained now, right?

I'm cool with it. I just hope he's not going to angle for team president in the future unless he is an actual candidate.

At least 2 of his assistants thus far are people who focus on player development, so that is nice to see.
