Prior to any play on Sunday, April 10, the Bucks are currently projected to finish with the ninth worst record in the association, as per the incredibly useful Tankathon.com. That would give them a 6.1 percent chance at a top three pick and a 1.7 percent chance at the first overall pick.
Off the back of a three game losing streak, Milwaukee’s chances could improve further yet. Moving up to as high as the sixth pick is possible, although realistically they’re not going to get themselves any higher than the seventh spot. Still, making that leap is genuinely plausible.
