The Milwaukee Bucks had 15 first and second round picks in NBA Drafts from 1980 to 1989. Out of those 15 players taken, just one has a career box plus-minus of higher than 0.
Paul Pressey was taken by the Bucks in the 1982 NBA Draft, and was unquestionably the best Buck selected in the 80s. Pressey is a Bucks legend and still leads the Bucks in franchise assist totals.
The second-best player the Bucks picked up in the 1980s was Alton Lister. The drop there is tremendous. Lister failed to ever score ten points per game in a season with Milwaukee.
