2018 NBA Draft - Why the Bucks Should Grab, Not Reach

Four of the last five first round selections made by the Milwaukee Bucks all had a similar theme surrounding them: low-floor, high-ceiling potential. No player exemplifies that theme better than Giannis Antetokounmpo, and we all know how well that has worked out for the Bucks. Other than Giannis, the last three raw potential picks have been, to put it nicely, underwhelming.

Rashad Vaughn was selected 17th overall by the Bucks even though he showed up in mock drafts consistently as a late-first round pick. Taking a risk on Vaughn made sense for the franchise in 2015, though.
