We’re one week away from the 2023 NBA Draft, and the Bucks only own one second-round pick: the very last one at number 58 (the Sixers and Bulls forfeited their second-round picks due to free agency tampering). The Bucks’ first-round pick—which would have also been last in its round at 30—is with the Clippers, routed there from the Rockets, who acquired it for P.J. Tucker back in 2021. Nevertheless, after some comments from GM Jon Horst about acquiring a first-rounder being “not unforeseeable” a few weeks ago, it appears that Milwaukee may indeed be trying to get into a more favorable position and land a new rookie, according to The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie:
The Bucks, Suns and Cavs have explored potential opportunities to move up into the late 20s and 30s, sources tell @Sam_Vecenie.
