Draft day was a significant step forward for the Milwaukee Bucks. Heading into the 2023-24 season, the team had a number of issues they needed to address. Their first-round defeat against the Miami Heat laid bare a host of fundamental issues that had been lingering for quite a while in the Mike Budenholzer era.
Entering an offseason with this defeat in mind, the Bucks managed to end draft day snagging young, scrappy, and stout guys like Andre Jackson Jr., and Chris Livingston, in the second round of the draft, then managed to land San Jose State’s Omari Moore and Gonzaga’s Drew Timme via a two-way deal and an Exhibit 10 contract, respectively.
