WRG 2012 Mock Draft - #12 Milwaukee Bucks

Last year we traded a big, white center for a dynamic, undersized, hyper-athletic shooting guard.

Yeah, we did that.  The Milwaukee Bucks!

So we have been without any 7-foot white guys for months now.  We could try and convince you we are taking a pass-first guard or a shooter in case our free agents decide to leave, but who would we be kidding? We need a young, defensive-minded, big center and a white guy (Paul Mokeski isn't walking through that door!) and here we have the total package.

The Bucks select Meyers Leonard, and America high fives each other for guessing at least one lottery pick correctly.

Leonard adopted an additional family of white people in preparation for his future life in Wisconsin.

WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #10 Milwaukee Bucks

Let's face it, Milwaukee is not a hot spot for free agents. The draft is a major priority for us, and we plan to fill some needs through it.

Everyone knows we need a shooting guard, but we aren't in love with any of the SG's available now. We've needed a power forward since Vin Baker was in town, but we aren't in love with any PF's available.

Andrew Bogut takes a beating down low night in and night out, and we NEED to protect him with a viable backup center. We weren't expecting a solid center to slide down to us, but we'll gladly take him. We just hope bringing a 19 year old to the Brew City doesn't backfire.

The Bucks select Jonas Valanciunas.

Yea, you'll fit right in.

WRG 2010 Mock Draft - #15 Milwaukee Bucks

We hit a home run last year with Brandon Jennings. Go us!

Now we're getting greedy. We want another home run. We would have liked to draft a wing as insurance in case J Salmons leaves, and who knows if Michael Redd will give us anything, but the ones that we were targeting got snatched up ahead of us. We can definitely use some frontcourt depth, and there are some intriguing upside options out there for us to consider. We have our eye on a certain young big man who we can ease into the NBA by limiting his minutes to start his young career and let him develop behind Andrew Bogut. We're going for the home run. We want Hassan Whiteside.

We like that Hassan is athletic and can run with Brandon Jennings when he comes in the game. We like his immense defensive potential. We plan for Hassan to be a home run pick.

I bet those long arms could do a number on a cow's teat.

WRG Mock Draft: #10, Milwaukee Bucks

No organization is perfect. We gather the information, assess the situation, and make the decision we think is best for us at the time.

Even the best of us don't always make the right calls. You can research and dig and be as diligent as you can - but sometimes you need a little luck to carry you through. In the last few years, our organization has had precious little of that.

We are in a slump. We paid too much money to players we thought would help us, and now we can't pay the ones that are. We drafted guys we really loved and thought would help us, but they just haven't worked out the way we planned. (But, hey! We did get a few things right. We drafted a kid with a low pick that won us some games, and we are very happy with our coach and the way he gets our guys to fight!)

So now we are in a bit of a mess. We can't afford to keep our starting PF and our backcourt has been decimated. We need help.

We had our eye on the 6th best PG on our board. We interviewed him, watched his tape, got a feel for his game. We got a great vibe from him. Honestly, we sort of settled on him before the draft. But... we didn't give him a promise. After all, he was our sixth ranked guy at his position - heck, the last six picks are at his position - and there have only been nine picks.

What's happened here is kind of a mitzvah for us. We don't have to make the tough decision. The draft has done the work for us. We can break free of the shackles of our instincts, make a sudden stop and send this monkey on our backs hurling headlong into a vat of golden, delicious, foamy Genuine Draft.

And we address a huge need for our team in the process.

So we forgo taking our sixth ranked point guard and select the second power forward on our board.

The Milwaukee Bucks knock wood, cross our fingers, sink our teeth into the big, juicy brat of life and select Jordan Hill. Thanks, lottery teams, for all but forcing us to do it.

Look! Snow!

The New Jersey Nets are on the clock.
