This year has been a very trying year to be a Bucks fan. Fans would say that the ownership decide to tank the season by finishing with the league's worst record of 15-67. The upcoming class of rookies will be hopefully a spark to the team considering that the team has one first round pick and 3 second round picks. The team has not been relevant for the past decade and has missed out on lottery picks badly since drafting and trading the rights of Dirk Nitwokski and Pat Garrity to Dallas Mavericks for Robert Taylor. The team has a 25% chance of getting the top pick. This year could be a year where the draft can change this organization. In order to do so they need to make some changes as well.
Currently the present team is composed of mediocre stars and decent role players. Teams could use of some their talent in today's present league but this team would need to make some major changes. Milwaukee Bucks is comprised of small guards in Ramon Sessions and O.J. Mayo. Ramon Sessions has lived up to the season that he had while he was playing in the fluid Houston Rocket offense. He was exposed for the one year that he was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and has been irrelevant since that time. Luckily enough he is an unrestricted free agent this season and I do believe the the team will be letting go of his services. O.J. Mayo was a nice pickup during their offseason. He is a combination guard that is very useful in the league today. He has the ability to play 3 different positions and defend pretty well. With the right pieces around him, he could be a very serviceable piece in the rebuilding of the Milwaukee Bucks. Brandon Knight has been in the league for 2 years. Unfortunately, his greatest highlights in the league has been on the bad side of SportsCenter's Top Ten.
The big men of the Bucks are not something to be happy about but with this upcoming draft you have a great deal of picks that the team can take. The team should take a very close look at the obvious gems of the class: Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid. These players can help change the route of the franchise but you would need other complements and that will come in the second round of the draft. Glenn Robinson III, James Michael McAdoo, and Patric Young are some candidates that could supplement the team. These players have to drive to be formidable bench players and sometimes finishers of games depending on the situation. Each one brings an unique skill set that will be necessary to change the culture of the team.
