Around SBN: The Amateur Mathematics Of Linsanity

What would you do if you were the Bucks GM during the draft?

If I were the Bucks GM I would do the following:

1) Trade the #10 pick to the Bulls for picks #16 and #26. 

Reasoning: The Bucks need to fill two spots in PG and PF and no one with star potential will be around during this pick. Only exception is if Jordan Hill is available, then maybe you take him and get a young PG like Patrick Beverly at #41. Beverly would backup Ridnour for cheap and provides "Tenacious Defense" and a "Great Motor" according to ESPN.

2) Pick PF Gani Lawal at #16. Pick PG Ty Lawson at #26. Or Vice Versa depending on their current draft stock.

Reasoning: The Bucks won't go into the luxury tax and trading down in draft where after the first few handful of players it is a crapshoot. They can sign both these players for slighty more than they would pay the #10 pick alone. 

Lawal is very intriguing because he is uber athletic and has a skill that translates to the NBA in rebounding. Lawson would serve as a good backup to Ridnour for cheap with some upside.

3) At #41 pick a foreign player to stash away oversees for the future.

Reasoning: Risk/Reward factor here. Plus it allows the Bucks to own the rights to another player without having to clear roster space immediately. A guy like PG Nando De Colo with great upside would be excellent.

 

What would you guys do?

What I'd Do

I’d trade our number ten, Richard Jefferson and Luke Ridnour to Toronto for Chris Bosh. Then, since this is fantasyland, I would do everything in my power to re-sign Ramon Sessions. Then I would trade Michael Redd at the deadline for a pair of unsigned Jordans if the contract expired next year.
