The Bucks seemingly aren't leaving any stone unturned for the NBA Draft. They have already brought in 18 players they consider legitimate second-round prospects for workouts. They'll be bringing in probably another dozen players they consider legitimate first- or second-round picks in the next two weeks.
As of now, the Bucks have two picks in the June 25th draft: the 10th overall selection and the 41st overall selection. Some of the second-round prospects the Bucks have checked out up close and personal are small forward Joe Ingles of Australia, forward DeMarre Carroll of Missouri, shooting guard Robert Vaden of Alabama-Birmingham and guard Lester Hudson of Tennessee-Martin.
Additionally, the Bucks have worked out several local prospects, including shooting guard Wesley Matthews of Marquette and small forward Marcus Landry of Wisconsin.
Among the players the Bucks are expected to work out before the draft whom they're considering selecting with the 10th pick are North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson, Memphis guard Tyreke Evans, power forward DeJuan Blair of Pittsburgh and point guard Jonny Flynn of Syracuse.
The fact that the Bucks are working out a slew of players doesn't necessarily mean any of them will be the Bucks' picks, though. After all, two of the Bucks' best draft selections in recent years were starting shooting guard Michael Redd and starting point guard Ramon Sessions. Neither one worked out for the Bucks.
SEASON HIGHLIGHT: Young point guard Ramon Sessions demonstrated his potential with a triple-double against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Bradley Center on April 1. The 23-year-old Sessions scored 16 points, had 16 assists and grabbed 10 rebounds.
TURNING POINT: Center Andrew Bogut played his last game of the season on Jan. 31, helping the Bucks beat the playoff-bound Hawks 110-107. The Bucks, still in the playoff hunt at the time, proceeded to lose 20 of their next 30 games with Bogut sidelined.
