2. Precious Achiuwa

As highlighted in the beginning, the Milwaukee Bucks could use one more big man. One of the better names left on the big board is Precious Achiuwa, who just showed his worth on the big stage with the New York Knicks this past season. If the Bucks snagged him, they'd have a nice frontcourt rotation full of players who can all give them different things.

At 6-foot-8, he's shorter than Portis and Lopez, but he also boasts more athleticism, which could be useful in switch-heavy situations. Nearing 25 years old, he's also still fairly young and could bring a needed dose of youth to the center position. Getting him on a minimum deal seems like a tall order, but if there's any shot that they can, the Milwaukee Bucks would be justified in doing so.

1. Gary Trent Jr.

Gary Trent Jr. is the most unrealistic name on this list, but with each passing sunrise, it feels more and more realistic that he could eventually land in Milwaukee. He seems destined to take a prove-it deal to show his worth and cash out next off-season. With rumors going around that Damian Lillard is talking to players about joining him in Milwaukee, it would make sense if he called his former teammate.

The Bucks would make plenty of sense as Trent's next home. Not only would he reunite with Lillard, but Milwaukee has a gaping hole at the starting two-guard slot, and Trent would fill the void. He'd be a great fit alongside Milwaukee's stars, bringing excellent 3-point shooting and decent defense when matched up with other wings. It'd be huge if they convinced him to come aboard on a minimum deal.

Stay tuned for more Milwaukee Bucks analysis.
