The Milwaukee Bucks haven’t maintained their first-round pick since the 2018 NBA Draft when they selected Donte DiVincenzo with the 17th overall pick. Over the last couple of years, the Bucks have moved their first-round picks to acquire high-end talent such as Jrue Holiday or to offload hefty contracts as they continue to pursue title contention.
Drafting young prospects hasn’t been the priority for this championship organization for some time now and that isn’t expected to change soon. Besides, Milwaukee hasn’t found much success through the draft for the most part in the last decade or so.
In fact, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only first-round pick selected by the Bucks that’s still remaining on the roster. It’s safe to say that the 15th overall pick in 2013 turned out to be a pretty good one though as a two-time MVP, six-time All-Star, six-time All-NBA, five-time All-Defensive, Defensive Player of the Year, Finals MVP, NBA Champion, and much more to come.
