Bucks 2015 NBA Draft Reactions: Digesting the Rashad Vaughn pick and Greivis Vasquez trade

The 2015 NBA Draft quickly transformed into a busy night for the Milwaukee Bucks. A trade for Raptors point guard Greivis Vasquez leveraged the value of a future first-round pick and extra cap space, and then at No. 17 overall the Bucks selected UNLV shooting guard Rashad Vaughn. Both of these moves addressed a serious need (shooting), but neither maneuver came across as a bona fide long-term solution. Vasquez has only one year remaining on his contract, but he represents an upgrade as a backup guard. Vaughn boasts raw talent and a scorer's mentality, but there are questions about his athleticism (he's also working to recover from injury) and breadth of skills at the next level.
