@andyxc13 Is a puzzlement. Do we draft based on the contracts we renew or do we renew contracts based on who we draft? Could use a SG with a little height and beef provided they can defend and score. Would be nice to be in a position to draft the best player available without trying to plug some gaping hole.

Not really related to this post but with NCAA done, there is a lot of draft chatter going on. ESPN’s mock draft has the Bucks going big but wouldn’t it make more sense to pick a shooting guard? With Udoh, LRMAM, Sanders, Leuer, Harris and (hopefully) Ilysaova coming back next year, it seems like the F/C spots are pretty well handled compared to the guard positions. Who knows if both Ellis and Jennings will be here, Udrih has a player option, Livingston has a team option and Delfino’s contract is up. I think the Bucks could really use to add a guard who brings size/athleticism and/or shooting to their backcourt, since Dunleavy/Delfino are not real athletic, and Ellis/Jennings are not real big and not real great jump shooters.

If the Bucks end up around 10-20 in the draft, probably available are: 6’5″ Jeremy Lamb, 6’4″ Austin Rivers and 6’6″ Terrance Ross. Wouldn’t any of those guys be a better add than another big? I could see an argument for a traditional center, though.
