The Buck Stops Here Roundtable #2: Draft Reactions, Free Agency Expectations
By Tim Wray
In the second edition of our new staff roundtable series, we share our reactions to the Milwaukee Bucks selections and look forward to free agency, exploring potential targets.
With the 2016 NBA Draft behind us and free agency on the horizon (11PM CT), the Milwaukee Bucks roster for the 2016-17 season is starting to take shape.
In last week’s roundtable, we discussed possible moves the Bucks could make on draft night, examining trade scenarios and a number of potential prospects. Evidently our predictions were completely blown out of the water after the Bucks surprisingly selected Thon Maker with the 10th overall pick.
This week we’ll share our reactions to the Bucks decisions on draft night, before shifting the focus towards free agency and examining a number of potential targets.
