Well, it’s been several years since we did this—since 2022—but now that the Bucks will be making their highest draft pick in a decade, it’s time to bring back an old favorite: our community draft board. Back when we last undertook this project, Milwaukee was picking 24th overall and chose MarJon Beauchamp (we skipped 2024, which is my bad), so let’s hope for a better outcome this time at no. 10. We also haven’t had the opportunity to count down from no. 1 overall since 2019, which was odd since the Bucks had the 30th pick that year!
Anywho, for those who are new to the site or don’t remember, this takes a similar form to our yearly Ranking The Roster series. Each day, we’ll post a new poll asking who you’d pick among all available prospects if you were drafting at that particular spot, removing names one by one until we get to the Bucks. The following day, we’ll evaluate the winner of the poll as a player and his potential fit. But since Milwaukee is at 10 and there are a variety of names who could rise into that range based on the combine, we’ll go a little longer.
Of course, there is a chance this is all moot because the Bucks end up trading whoever is picked at 10, which they would technically have to wait to do until after it’s made. They could also trade up or down in the draft, perhaps netting more than one 2026 first-rounder if it’s the latter. And who knows, with the ongoing Giannis uncertainty, they could end up with an even higher pick somehow. For now, though, let’s go with the current state of the roster and the 10th overall selection.
Without further ado, here is our first poll. If you were drafting first overall, who would you pick? Check back tomorrow morning for the winner and tell us who you’d pick if they were drafting second. We’ll generally keep these open for 24 hours.
