As the NBA regular season winds down and the G League season prepares to come to its conclusion, the past week has also been a significant one for the NBA and the Milwaukee Bucks for a new and very different reason.
The NBA 2K League effectively became a reality on Wednesday, as 17 franchises, including Bucks Gaming, took part in the league’s inaugural draft in New York.
With a player pool that had been narrowed down to 102 over a two-month period that included a draft combine, each team was left to select six players, one for each position and a wildcard of sorts as a sixth man.
