Fortunately for Bucks fans, the team has been so consistently bad that there isn't much to worry about when it comes to the team's chances at landing a top talent.
I've been tracking the Big Board and Top-100 changes at DraftExpress and ESPN since October, and a lot of interesting trends have developed. This year is particularly fascinating, as multiple players may be capable of changes the long-term trajectory of an NBA franchise.Īt this point in the season I like to think of the 2013-14 Milwaukee Bucks as a stubborn piñata a hollow husk of a squad destined to take repeated beatings and an object that ultimately stands in the way of our true reward: the sweet, sweet candy that is the 2014 NBA Draft class. Fluctuations in the stock of various NBA Draft prospects in the ranking systems (i.e., thoughtful projections by experts on who will be the best players in a draft class) has always interested me more than speculative mock draft scenarios (i.e., scheduled guesses at potential draft situations systematically undermined by fluid standings, shifting hierarchies, and hunches regarding GM preferences).
