In draft, Bucks searching for a future star

This is more familiar draft territory for the Milwaukee Bucks, a place in the teens.

Finding a teen idol can be tough work, but the Bucks will take their chances as they hope to build on a promising first season under coach Jason Kidd.

The resurgent Bucks made the playoffs and earned the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference before falling in six games to the third-seeded Chicago Bulls. That translates to Milwaukee claiming the No. 17 pick in the June 25 draft.

The previous season the Bucks plummeted to the league's worst record (15-67) and wound up with the second pick after the draft lottery.
