Evaluating the big men available in next week’s NBA Draft



Evaluating the big men available in next week’s NBA Draft

coming up on today’s lock on bucks we start to take a look at some draft prospects and we begin with a position of need I think when you break it down to the three spots all of them are positions of need for the bucks but a rather big position of need the bigs we take a look at some of the names linked to the Bucks who would make the most sense who is likely to be there and who would just be the best fit what’s the best value find as we start to think about life after Brook Lopez and potentially Bobby poris we get into that conversation coming up next un locked on bucks you are locked on

going to focus on um forwards wings and Friday we are going to take a look at the guards and these are the names that are going to be possible options for the bucks linked to the Bucks we’re not doing a deep dive uh on everyone that’s out there in the the names that would not be possible we’re not doing anything on alexar today not going to touch on Reed Shepard on Friday show you get the picture but starting to get the primer out there of what is going to be available we think for the bucks so I suppose we should start there in that um I know mock drafts vary every single year but this one seems like there’s far more variance than U than what we’re accustomed to in recent years and I think the logic behind that is fairly simple uh everybody has heard the writeups on this draft so far and the value that is going to be available in it the comps to last year’s draft and potentially next year’s draft so with that in mind uh you get the sense that there is going to be a lot of variant and it’s this one’s just coming down to how teams view players what specific traits and skill sets you see that you say no I don’t know I think this will work at this level opposed to what we’ve seen for the most part where you know you always have your surprises but for the most part you know okay this guy’s number one this guy’s a top three this guy’s a lottery not to say you don’t have those instances this year it just seems like they are fewer and far between yeah the consensus just isn’t there as we’ve seen in drafts of old which is part of why I’m looking forward to this year’s draft I think it’s going to be really entertaining because there isn’t a lot of consensus where you can look at big boards you can see just the variance on how players are ranked you can look at mock drafts like we talked about it before we went live of some of our prep before this show and saying how all of these mock drafts like looking at 10 different mock drafts and seeing various names in every single one it’s one of those drafts where it’s really going to come down like you mentioned to team preference and how they organize their particular board um because even someone like Zack Edy who will talk about a little bit uh there are some people who are really high on him seem as a lottery you know selection other people who are like he might fall to the end of the first round for all we know and it’s like interesting that it’s just such a wide variance on all of these prospects which probably adds uh to the perception of it being a weaker draft class because there’s just not much consensus throughout it but from what I’ve been able to learn and read it does seem like there are going to be some pretty solid role players which every draft produces at some level so hopefully at 23 if the Bucs keep that pick uh they can find somebody who can contribute all right Soh what do you say we dig into these names here we put together a list of a handful of uh players that seemed to make the most sense for the bucks and I I think there’s there’s two that are probably the man I I hope so um and those names interestingly enough are are the two that I’ve seen linked to them most often now a lot is going to change between today and one week from today as teams start to wrap up their interviews and workouts and everything else and you always have those teams that are um operating in stealth mode where it’s oh they really liked this guy and they never tipped their hand so you are going to see guys that were linked to the bucks if hey he’s probably gonna be available at 23 or somewhere around there that end up going 13 or something like that um so we’ve compiled our list as of this moment of okay who realistically could be there and we got a handful of them so let’s start with one of those guys that I said makes the most sense and I’ve seen Grand it’s not an exact science but it mock drafts going to the Bucks multiple times and that is Kell aware of Indiana so you see the size a seven-footer you see the overall skill set with what he was able to do as a shooter as a score around the rim most importantly as a rim protector as well and I think the one thing that stood out to me uh the most about Kell laware is well two things I should say because uh one of them is is going to be important assuming you can get him and you play him next year with with one player specifically that’s on the team and that was his playing the pick and role of both a rle man and somebody that can just pick and pop and knock down those shots he was a 40% threo shooter in college has a little bit of a postup game as well which look the league is is obviously headed away from that it’s still nice to have look at what Chris dpps porzingis did for the Boston Celtics but that other thing that I was talking about um was his lack of fowls and the discipline that he brings avoiding those fouls defending physically defending without committing fouls that is um so rare but so very important for young players and I mean just go back throughout the course of this past season and the conversations that we had about Andre Jackson Jr very Adept defensively aggressive and you loved everything that brought the one thing we kept saying was man he’s just got a cut down on the fouls cying the college game to the Pro game is is obviously very very different but that was the one thing or one of the handful of things that stood out to me the most about Kell wear yeah listen with where he as you mentioned just he’s he’s a specimen like to be his size but have the fluidity in his game that he has it’s really impressive to watch now K he his first year at Oregon I believe it was um there were concerns about his motor and that’s been like the biggest knock on physicality motor does he have it because there are stretches in college where he could disappear in a whole half you don’t see him um and this apparently even goes back to his time in high school where it’s just kind of like there are just moments where the effort kind of waves the focus kind of waves and he’s just you just don’t notice him out there anymore but uh for everything about that I love his touch around the he has really good hands around the rim like he’s a lob threat with his size you mentioned the fact that he shot over 40% from three last season which I’m curious to see how that translate to the NBA because his first year in college he shot about 27% from three while he was at Oregon while he put up like six attempts a game so he was getting them up there um at Oregon at a very low clip and then this past year he was able to get them over 40% on fewer attempts per game he just like he was more well-rounded um as a player in his second year and like I me his hands really stood out to me because he’s a lob threat even times where he doesn’t catch the lob like to dunk it he has just like this finesse where he can kind of catch it and still finish around the rim regardless him being able to have that three-point shot is really really good I’m really curious to see how that stands uh when he gets to the NBA and of course there there’s some concerns about just size and strength but a lot of players do have those concerns coming out of college so he is somebody who of all the bigs that we are going to be talking about the tip my hand he is the one I’m the most excited about uh with his fit for the bucks my concern with him at this point is that he has been a really big Riser through the pre-draft process so I’m a little worried now that he has played himself out of the Bucks range and that he might end up being a lottery pick um just with how he’s been performing in workouts because getting a seven-footer that can shoot defend like that’s that’s a dream type of big in the NBA at this point yeah a decent amount of variance on him because you’ve started to see a handful more that have him somewhere around 15 um it it started where he was linked to the Bucks quite a bit and then he started to move up to 2120 or so Phoenix and the Cavs teams that were linked to him um and now you’ve started to see more and more of oh late teens that maybe he could end up breaking into the lottery it’s not um it’s not the greatest comp it’s it’s it’s not an exact comp I should say um but I think part of it too is granted they came up short but some of those skill sets that he possesses the um the overall fact that he is I think you would say unta untapped in terms of his potential on offense he has the ability to finish around the rim to be a good rim protector um the shooting again didn’t see a high volume of it but the shooting was there in college and he can I I’ve seen varyan reports on his switch ability definitely can take on the fours and fives but Rim protection and his ability to to give you some fluidity and movement is what intrigues you and it’s hard not to see all that and say well look at what Dallas got last year with Derrik livley giving you a lot of the same so I wonder if part of that is going to be teams being prisoner of the moment and saying well this guy can be our Derek Lively I mean NBA is a copycat League you see something work and you try to to do it on your own terms like I mean think about when the warriors were doing the small ball everybody was like we need a small ball lineup we have to have a death lineup like that’s just the way it works and seeing the way that Lively was able to contribute knowing his role being just great at being that role man and playing defense being able to get some real uh good minutes for a contributor to a team that made it to the NBA finals like of course you would want a Derek Lively on your team and where has some of those same traits as you mentioned like and he also had a pretty good assist rate for a big man as well so um he can block pretty decent rebounder like he shoots the three he’s a good role man he’s a lob threat like those are the things that you would look for in a big so to your point about everybody trying to find the next Dereck Lively like I mean I’m not saying he is it uh but he has a profile that resembles what Lively uh did as well um yeah there’s so I I think the other name that makes the most most sense for the bucks to be linked to we’ll get to uh coming up after the break here the the whole just to close the book on Kell where um it it goes back to the conversation we’ve had about this team over the course of the offseason in that what they do with that first round pick I think does largely depend on who’s available where they pick he’s more of a ceiling player than a very high floor player that we feel like okay this is a guy that’s going to contribute immediately not to say that he can’t but I think there’s some other prospects in this draft that you would look at and say this guy we feel like can step in right now and give us 15 minutes no questions asked maybe even a little bit more and contribute and uh that may be short-sighted thinking when you say well this an anian roster you want somebody that is going to continue to blossom and grow but it’s just part of the evaluation of where the Bucks are and what they’re faced with their roster constraints and everything else um Kell Weare again very tantalizing I think the big pieces that you come back to are the motor piece of it all and um as much as you love what you see there and you got to start to think about life after Brook Lopez that’s an interesting piece because of the whole man well this a team full of pretty high motor guys that you have certainly Giannis that you would point to um and the other part too he’s a little Little Rock Arkansas native so assuming Bobby poris is still on team what does that do for that connection and helping bring him along I’m sure that would be a big big piece of it all as well speaking of H big pieces another name that I mentioned that has been linked to the Bucks in several of these mock drafts a little bit of the opposite of what we described here with k where we’ll get into that conversation and that specific player coming up after the break here on lock on bucks

mentioned which uh we’ve seen a decent amount of these mock drafts and others speculating yes this guy would make sense for the bucks and he’s probably going to be there I I would go as far as saying I’m more confident this player will be available at at 23 than Kell Weare that is drron Holmes of a dayon so we’ll get into the everything we’ve seen in the writeups and whatnot on Dron Holmes um I I clearly saw him play one time this season that was in the NCAA tournaments in their matchup with the Arizona Wildcats um but he is more I think the consensus of not to say there isn’t the uh potential there but I think when you comp him to Kell wear Kell Weare again has that untapped potential has the ceiling I think Dron Holmes is more of a I think we kind of know what he’s going to be maybe he surprises us and shows us some growth a little bit but in all likelihood he is probably a six seventh man something like that he can spot start for you um in some aspects similar to Bobby poris we’ve seen the comps thrown out there of Nas Reed and his ability to defend in that sense um his three-point unit ability he was above 40% granted only about two and a half attempts per game uh season ago but I think the difference here and he’s not the elite rent protector obviously that Kell wear was difference here is I I feel like he is more of a finished product where you know kind of what we said before of who can step in and we feel like we know what we’re gonna get and that’s you know a guy that can contribute to this team I think Dron Holmes would fit that a little more than kware granted you have more upsite with where yeah I mean you you mentioned the comp that I’ve seen most used with the hommes which is Nas Reed just people feel like with his size and that he can defend the post in a similar way to NAS Reed plus he can space the floor a bit um I mean the three-point shooting for him as well is one of those things where you’re like okay is this is this real Improvement that we saw because this season he shot a very very good percentage from three while the year prior to that um it just wasn’t as great so it’s a thing with him as well like how real is this three-point shoot shot that you had but he’s great in the pick and roll he’s a great pick and roll finisher I did see too that he grew over two inches over like while he got to college so he’s getting used to also playing with a little bit of a bigger body he’s a great great shot blocker like that’s probably what he does the best on defense there are some concerns but also some people who see promise in his ability to defend the the the rim as well as get out in space and and switch some people are saying he might be a little too slow to be switching all the time but some think that he has uh some upside to be able to learn how to do that better um not a great rebounder for what he normally does but outside of that like he has a lot of the tools where you look at like this could be a great like big for any team but we’re talking about the Bucs in particular um some I saw in the athletic that there might be some overlap between him and poris a little bit with what they can do um but again one of the hopes is that defense L that he can be quick enough to switch um some think he might be a little bit too small to play in that drop coverage but he is 610 so there are some tools that he hashes physically where you think like maybe with some development maybe if you sit behind Brook Lopez for a year that’s someone who you can really learn from but he’s a really interesting Prospect for the bucks and somebody who I wouldn’t be mad at if they they took a shot on him yeah the more um the more uh highlights I’m not going to say film but but highlights we’ve seen of him and the more you’ve um really gotten into the breakdowns I lean towards this as the guy that if you keep the pick I I think would make the most sense for the bucks and I would be most pleased with um with scene for all the reasons that you pointed out and I think defensively too everything that you see about Don Dron Holmes is um he really thrives in the pick and roll that he’s a very very good Defender there again maybe not switchable per because you’re not going to be throwing them out there on for extended coverages on twos and point guards and whatnot um but especially in that middle of the floor pick and roll and that is a spot that as long as you have Damen Lillard we mentioned on the show yesterday hey maybe you get Malik Beasley back on a vet minimum long as you got those guys on the floor you are going to be susceptible to teams running pick and roll against you and that’s a spot where he thrives we mentioned the comp to anas Reed you mentioned some of the overlap potentially with Bobby poris I think the other piece of it is this um Rim protection is as you pointed out that was one of the other things of you know surprisingly he’s pretty good at it as a helps side rim protector um again when we talk about a copycat League you go back to Boston this guy and you know comping College to the pros is different with the uh the space on the floor for those three-point attempts as we said it’s about what two and a half three point three three-point attempts per game that he averaged but when you watch his shot um everything else about it he is a five out guy and when you look at what Boston did yep five out they were the team that really perfected the five out approach and that was because Al Horford could hold up defensively when they played the two bigs Together Al Horford could hold up more than hold up defensively he can knock down shots Chris DS porzingis was Through The Years A very underrated rim protector and man that really showed in the finals too especially in game one he’s a guy Dron CHP that we’re talking about here that I know we mentioned the comps to NAS Reed if you just think about that system and how the Celtics played I think you could talk yourself into maybe not necessarily this year but down the road yeah this guy is an Al Horford type that he can pick up a couple of spots maybe not quite as versatile as we’ve seen Al Horford the last few years defensively but still has that versatility ability to defend the pick and role he can play a five out and pop that three-pointer he’s a decent enough helps side rim protector and you got this guy named Giannis who is a very very good rim protector himself that can come over and take the rest Allah christs porzingis so um the more we dig into it I think he is between he and Kell Kell wear he is the one of those two that is more likely to be the at 23 and frankly he’s the player that I think I’ve talked myself into the most throughout this process and I can see why because on top of that too we didn’t even mention the fact he’s just a smart player as well like he’s really good on Cuts knowing when the rim he always boxes out like he is just somebody who even on defense when he’s getting back he has his hands up he’s a willing Defender as well and it’s been a lot of conversations this final about the role of effort in defense as well and with Holmes like effort is there he is going to be out there hands up doing what he’s supposed to do so you know I can absolutely see why he’s someone who you’ve been like yeah this is the one for me because he’s also just if I ordered him he’s top of the list right behind where for me and I saw too he also had a he’s a good passer he had a 19% assist rate I was like that’s that’s interesting for a big man so he has a lot of tools and skill sets about him that makes him really interesting uh for the bucks and like you mentioned he has been mocked to the Bucks uh as well so he’s somebody who like you said could realistically still be on the board at 23 when the Bucks do make that pick if they make that pick um yeah his his passing ability his his overall offensive IQ uh playmaking um and kind of the opposite conversation that we had towards the end there about Kell wear his motor is unquestioned and you know the other thing I’ve seen through a handful of these writeups on him is he was very well coached and open to coaching at Dayton and I think that along with all of the different looks and versatility and schemes that Dayton ran defensively has made him very very um well prepared for the NBA level that I’ve seen a handful say just what we said at the top that this is a guy that I think he’s going to be productive in his early years in the league because of all of that because of the different looks that he played in the coaching that he’s been open to uh his ability to be a playmaker and overall offensive IQ that he has that this is a guy as we mentioned you know it comes down to is there somebody there that can help us in the future and now that step in and contribute this a guy that seems to check those boxes so that is uh as of this moment as we record this Wednesday one week before the draft it’s going to change I would assume over the course of the next six or seven days but that’s the guy that I would say you know if he’s there that’s who I want the the Bucks to take uh a couple of other names to get to and one of them has some local ties to the Bucks we will get into the rest of the bigs in this draft coming up next year unlocked on bucks time to talk to you now about our friends over at fanuel

Camille I mentioned there is a local name that is out there that we have seen I don’t know if I’d say linked to the bucks but you’ve seen him pop up in those uh spots where the Bucks would potentially be picking we uh we questioned before too when we were first getting into here are the names that the Bucs worked out you start to hear some of those Rumblings of hey this a guy that uh I’ve heard is working out for the bucks and that was confirmed um let’s just start preface with with this I don’t think unless something drastic changes here he is not going to be taken at 23 this is more of a second round option that we’re viewing here but uh somebody that you’re very familiar with with your Marquette ties there Camille and I think by mentioning bigs and Marquette everybody knows yes sir who we’re referring to oh so igodo now he is such an interesting Prospect because the type of big man that he is he’s he’s an offensive Hub right he is somebody who he gets the ball like the elbow and he can operate out of there a really gifted passer a really smart player as well um he’s he’s one of those guys where you think about well what does he do well it’s like he does quite a few things well like what does he do badly and you’re like it’s not as much he’s kind of just like a jack of trades in a certain degree but he doesn’t do anything necessarily in an elite way um not a great shooter from three-point range that’s not in his bag but he has just like this really interesting floater he loves getting that floater up at all different uh angles different spaces that in his little hook shot like that’s like his primary offense but he’s great in transition uh defensively he’s a smart Defender he might be a little undersized coming up to the NBA but uh the way he can pass the ball and and just being Hub offensively it makes you think of like uh I’m not saying he’s at that level but just how he kind of runs his offense a little bit like a sabonis type without the three-point shot there um most of his shots come at The Rim high IQ good feel for the game great passer like I mentioned decent rebounder as well he’s good in the the pick and roll great pretty good in transition as well like he is just an overall good big um but as I mentioned he is a non- shooter from three point do really stretch the floor in that way um so I’ll be really interested to see where he fits in the NBA level because I think for him more than a lot of other players uh where he ends up will determine a lot about his career because he’s such an interesting and kind of unique type of big man um that and I know you’re not saying it’s a perfect fit but that sabonis comp is actually pretty pretty spoton pretty interesting uh as well where I think you would look at it as uh because of the Hub piece that you mentioned sabon is also not I think he has the ability but he just does not take the three-point shot um more of a I suppose the comp would be like a Kmart version of sabonis offensively but much more defensive value that he’s gonna add um than domas does he I think the interesting part is there’s something there that um I think look you look at teams like through the years the Spurs the Miami Heat certainly the best example of this where they find that one thing and say okay this is your strength how do we continue to develop this and how do we fit this into what we’re doing and really highlight this well kind of hiding some of your weaknesses I think the best example we’ve seen the Bucs do with that recently is AJ Green when we talked about he has this one Elite skill set credit to him for getting better and and you know I don’t know if that’s even fair that I think we all kind of assumed he was bad defensively but he was above average I would say defensively this past season that he more than held his own um and that’s what you need with a guy like Oso is okay this is what works for you and here’s where we can fit it in around us on the floor but we got to look for ways to minimize the downside and again the heat are the best example of finding that and developing that with players I think he is more of a long-term play not to say that it couldn’t have some flashes throughout his rookie season but that’s more of a okay if the Bucks do not keep their first round pick and it’s part of a trade uh maybe they do some other tinkering to the roster I feel pretty confident in saying that Oso is gonna be there at 33 when the Bucs pick in the second round and probably even at the midpoint of that second round um so maybe that’s somebody that you can get later in the second round if there’s another move that’s involved or you know it’s it’s kind of Hit or Miss of I think the ceiling on him right now is mid to somewhat early second round the floor is you know this guy is not gonna be drafted and we’ve seen that through the years with a handful of Marquette guys Justin Lewis still developing in Chicago with the bulls on their g-league team yeah one comp I saw to also that made me kind of laugh because he also had a bugs tie was my kellish villy like like he kind of reminds me of Mamu and I was like that’s an interesting comp um and we’ve seen how mammu’s career has gone like when he went to this first I like that could be a really great landing spot for him because if anyone can kind of figure out how to use a center a big that has just a talent for passing it could be Pop um but we still haven’t been able to really see him get on the floor consistently I mean now they have wmy of course but even prior to that just hasn’t been consistent for him so that was one of those comps was like that’s interesting because I do remember when we had Mamu and being like he’s he’s a different type of big like just with his passing ability um and what he can do on the floor but as a Marquette Al wearing the wearing the shirt now actually as we speak I do hope that Oso just lands in the spot that he can develop because I don’t think that him coming into league right now is like he’s gonna give you 15 20 minutes a game like I don’t think he’s at that point yet um so he’s going to need some development in his game but he has some really interesting tools that I think a team is gonna want to take a shot on um and actually I should clean that up as Justin Lewis was undrafted signed with the Bulls playing with their g-league team then he was traded to the Jazz’s g-league affiliate he is um now out of the g-league and playing in the Canadian Elite basketball um league but um yeah the local ties there with Oso and of all the bigs out there two other names that we touched on heavily that um that seem to be linked to the Bucks fairly often here in this draft there’s Zach Ed as well we saw the Bucs work him out he’s going to be very polarizing uh I don’t think Zach Ed is going to be there at 23 when the Bucks are um are drafting Tyler Smith of the G League ignite another name that we didn’t touch on here but another name that we’ve seen linked to the bucks or I don’t know if link to the Bucks is accurate as much as it’s in that range in these mock drafts um any other names that you had in mind that you wanted to touch on here I saw it in the comment as well but e Messi msia pronouncing that wrong but uh just just a dog on defense high flyer he is somebody offensively where when I looked at his profile like he shot 97% of his field goal attempts at the rim and I was like well he knows he knows what he’s good at right here but defensively like he just has all of those tools that you’re looking for um the the thing for him is going to be just some of the offense of how he can stretch the floor in that way uh because not a great free throw shooter at this point as well not a great passer uh but the defense the rebounding all of that that comes with it he can lob threat he has athleticism uh he is just a really interesting Prospect where I’m not sure exactly where he’s going to be he’s I commonly see him in the 20s you know as high as 19 low was like 26 27 on some Mock Draft so he’s just somebody to keep an eye on as well I could see uh someone falling in love with that defense because he’s also somebody who had a really quick growing spurt uh and went from playing guard to Center so just him continuing to develop he could be a really interesting Prospect yeah I think um he’s he’s around there too most of the mocks I’ve seen half him at around 20 to 25 um the other one to mention I suppose and this is more of the again uh not not a pro project per se but more of the longer term play and saying hey all right let’s let’s develop something here um I don’t want to comp him to Giannis but similar to what the Bucks were able to get with Giannis of you know what let’s let’s try this guy he has some things that he like um but I’ve seen a lot of fluctuation in where he slotted to go in this draft uh even in the second round potentially that is Bobby Clinton of Sweden and his ability as a shooter um some of the writeups I’ve seen too man you could play super big essentially he’s I’ve seen Varan reports in his height too I’ll say six foot n I’ve seen 68 610 he’s got a seven foot wingspan though but he’s a very good shooter he’s more of um I wouldn’t say a wing per se but more of a forward yeah than a big um so he’s one of the interesting names there as well but um if it’s a big I feel pretty confident in saying it’s going to be one of the names that we mentioned on the show yeah I think so as well but we’ll see because I mean for as many bigs as we talked about today just going through the draft and when we got when we get to the wings I was just like wow like there’s there’s quite a few option in that range where the Bucs are going to be drafting where there are some prospects depending on how you want to do it where they could be a really interesting fit as well so I’m I’m the closer we always get to the draft the more excited I get for the draft every single year it’s without fail and this year I’m really interested in seeing how it plays out with the draft being over two days now because I do wonder if we might actually have more trades and more movement after the first round closes because there’s a whole night to think about more time yeah yeah there’s time in between the rounds now so I’m really curious to see how that plays out uh this year with this new format time between the rounds um on its own day so it’s not you know five minutes between picks and uh teams towards the end of the night just let’s get this day over with already so that’s going to be fascinating to see how the uh the second round plays out here um I believe we mentioned this briefly on the show yesterday but um I think we’re we’re planning on doing some variants of a live show for the first round of the draft one week from tonight on Wednesday night we still got to hammer out the details there but I’m thinking probably starting somewhere around the midpoints the draft so we can start to see what’s unfolded so far uh especially if there’s any trades that have been made and then get that Bucs pick and reaction to that pick I’m not sure Frank is going to join us or not but we do plan on getting Frank’s reaction to the draft either that night or in a separate show that we would run uh the next day so we do have that planned for the draft tomorrow we are going to take a look at the wings uh that again realistic options for the bucks and we’ll wrap up our look at the prospects Friday taking a look at guards that the Bucks have shown an interest in and been linked to and have a realistic shot at selecting in this Draft before we do wrap up one thing that you and I talked about um before we started recording just to float this out there this um is not going to take away from the five days a week that you get bucks content so I just want to preface with that but as uh as you know if you follow us on social and and listening to lock on bucks watching locked on bucks Camille and I are both fans of the sweet science that is professional wrestling so um I think we’re going to start doing a weekly show recapping the week in wrestling it is not going to take away from the five bucks shows that we’re putting out there that you’re getting Monday through Friday this would probably run on theek weekend if you’re not into it you don’t have to listen to the show there’s going to be no buck content in it we’re not going to force it in to any of the other bucks related shows throughout the week either so you have to skip forward and whatnot if you don’t like it just don’t listen to it come back for the rest of the Bucks content throughout the course of the week but I do think it’s something we’re probably gonna toy with starting to do as a weekend exclusive show where you can get your fix if if you’re one of those fans as well so if you have thoughts on that certainly leave them in the comments or reach out to Camille and I on uh social media but again I just cannot stress enough it’s not going to replace a buck show throughout the weeks you’re not getting only four Buck shows you’re getting an extra show and and if you’re not into it you’re not into it it’s it’s not gonna take away from any of that so um if it’s something you’re into let us know I think we’re g to start doing that eventually maybe we’ll tie into some of the ples that are coming up here in the coming weeks um but something to uh satiate the rest of the fans because they’re out there we know they are we see you lurking in the comments that are also Bucks fans so uh yeah leave your thoughts on that either comment on today’s show or um on social media with Camille and I but that’ll do it for today’s show again tomorrow we’re gonna take a look at the wings in this draft and wrap up the week taking a look at guards on Friday for Camille I’m Justin we’ll talk to you once again tomorrow unlocked on Buck

Justin and Camille take a look at the bigs in this draft. Who have the Bucks worked out so far, who is projected to be available late in the first round and which of these players would make the most sense for the Bucks? We dig into it all on the latest Locked on Bucks

  1. I think the Milwaukee Bucks are in deep trouble with Dame. Jon Horst šŸ¤£šŸ¤”šŸ™†šŸ˜­. Dude. Nightmare is written all over Bucks. What did Rob Parker and Chris Broussard say? They said Damian Lillard is getting exposed in Milwaukee šŸ™†šŸ¤”šŸ¤£šŸ˜Ž. This dude came and messed up everything in Milwaukee. Now Milwaukee is the epicenter of the NBA drama.

  2. I think that Yves Missi, Ulrich Chomche and Kyle Filipowski are the bigs that will be available at #23.

  3. ware is soft physically and mentally. the guy from Dayton is solid, but a little undersized height wise

  4. Love your show. Question, is it possible for you to show a picture or photo of the people that you are talking about? It will helpā€¦

  5. Hoping for a rim protecting , agile , 3 point shooting center type of course in round 1 . If they go wing, hope they are taller than 6 8 with a plus wingspan, 6 6 / 6 7 alright if exceptional wingspan . No to Edey, big ole plodder will be chased off the floor in playoffs .
