Five players to watch at No. 17

Bucks general manager John Hammond said the team has five players targeted at the No. 17 spot in Thursday's draft. There is always the chance of a trade, but if the Bucks stay at No. 17, these players may be on that list:

BOBBY PORTIS,

6-11, 240, SOPH., PF,

ARKANSAS

Portis is one of the sleepers in this year's draft after emerging as a sophomore and being named

Southeastern Conference player of the year. His

versatility appeals to the Bucks, and director of scouting Billy McKinney said Portis has the ability to play at center and power

forward.
