The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as the Wisconsin Herd landed many of their targets in the G League expansion draft.

In this latest edition of the Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we round up all of the details from the first big day of roster building for the Wisconsin Herd, and more.

While some of the players who were selected by the Herd on Thursday could certainly be a part of the team’s opening night roster, expect more new faces to be added in the coming weeks and months. For example, the G League draft proper will take place in October.

As more players do join up with the Herd’s effort in Oshkosh, stick with us at Behind the Buck Pass for all of the details, and check in with this column every morning.
