Things are exciting in Milwaukee right now. The Milwaukee Bucks may not be having a great start to their 2015-16 season, but there’s still a lot of hope here in Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker are the biggest contributors to that hope–good draft picks can do that for a franchise.
We here at Behind the Buck Pass have decided to take a look back, before the franchise continues to move forward. To be specific, we looked back at the Bucks best ten draft picks throughout the team’s long history.

Andrew Bogut, Julius Erving. Dirk Nowitzki and Alex English were all technically Bucks draft picks and briefly considered for this list, but ultimately rejected for accomplishing more for other teams than they did for Milwaukee.
English and Bogut were the tougher decisions to make. They both at least played for the Bucks for some minutes, Bogut obviously moreso than English.
Dr. J and Dirk were disqualified right away, considering neither of them wound up playing a single minute for Milwaukee. Those two are certainly technically two of the best players to ever be drafted by the Bucks, but technically correct isn’t going to fly here.
Now let’s get to the ten best Milwaukee Bucks draft picks.
