The odds were heavily against the Milwaukee Bucks making a jump into the top three of the NBA draft.
So it was no surprise Tuesday night when the Bucks stayed in the No. 10 position during the NBA draft lottery held at the New York Hilton in midtown Manhattan.
Milwaukee will have the 10th pick and a pair of second-round picks in the June 23 draft to be held at the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets.
Bucks coach Jason Kidd was on stage to represent the team, and Alex Lasry, the team's vice president of strategy and operations, was in the back room where the actual drawing took place.
