In the delirium of the Milwaukee Bucks first championship in half a century, I’ve asked myself (and been asked) enough times, “What picks do the Bucks have this year?” that I thought it was worth reminding folks. The answer is the 31st selection in the 2021 NBA Draft that’s scheduled for next Thursday, July 29th. That’s due to Milwaukee trading its first round pick to Houston in exchange for their second and PJ Tucker. Moving down seven draft slots and acquiring a player who helped lead you to a championship? Not bad, Jon.
While the Playoff crunch means the site won’t have some of the typical in-depth NBA draft coverage we’ve done past years, I think y’all can survive it while basking in the glow of this Finals trip.
