2) Sidney Moncrief
Moncrief was drafted by the Bucks with the fifth overall pick in 1979, and played the first 10 of this 11 NBA seasons in Milwaukee. He failed to lead the Bucks to the Finals, but he did lead them to the third-best winning percentage of the 1980's, trailing only the Lakers and Celtics. He finished his career as a 5-time All-Star and 2-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.

Milwaukee drafted Kareem with the first overall pick of the 1969 draft, and spent the first six seasons of his illustrious career with the Bucks.
