Milwaukee Bucks: Two Stars That Were Almost Bucks In The 1990s

What’s done is done. The past is in the past, and there’s no changing what’s already happened. Still, isn’t it fun to play a little “what if” when looking back through history?

The Milwaukee Bucks drafted some great players in the 1990s, including Glenn Robinson and Vin Baker. But did you know they also, technically, drafted Dirk Nowitzki and Stephon Marbury?

First, in 1996, Milwaukee took Marbury with the fourth overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft. Right away after taking him, the Bucks flipped Starbury to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the fifth overall pick, and a future first.
