Milwaukee Bucks

Thon Maker, PF (10), Malcolm Brogdon, SG (36)

Thon Maker left draft night with a smile on his face. Milwaukee took Maker, who is considered a fairly raw player, way earlier than anyone expected. But I think this is the perfect team for Thon to grow a ball player. Malcom Bragdon is exactly the second round guard the needed to take. Thon Maker might be a risky pick to a lot of analysts out there, but I think it was smart to take the upside man here, and I like the direction this team is headed.

Draft Grade: B-

Next: Minnesota Timberwolves
