Final Draft Notes: Sanders and Henry on the Bucks' minds?

We'll have a reaction thread up as soon as the Bucks make their first pick, but in the meantime I just wanted to post all the latest Bucks draft talk as we prepare for things to get started on ESPN at 6:30 CT. I'll also be posting updates here leading up to #15. Here we go!
DraftExpress: Sanders, Warren, Prestes, Samuels
Jonathan Givony's latest mock has the Bucks going big with the man they didn't give a first round promise. Sanders' physical profile--terrific length, huge hands, solid athleticism--makes him a great fit for the Bucks' 4/5 rotation, and at 21 he does seem to have a fair bit of upside given his late arrival to the game. That said, it's still anybody's guess if he develops the skills to be more than a nice guy with a big body. I wouldn't mind the pick, but I'd probably prefer Xavier Henry and Patrick Patterson if they were available.
John Hammond has already said the Bucks are unlikely to keep all four picks, but in the second round DX has the Bucks going with OU combo guard Willie Warren (37), Brazilian big man Paulao Prestes (44), and Louisville PF Samardo Samuels (47). Warren and Samuels both had workouts with the Bucks, while Prestes currently plays in Spain and is considered a potential sleeper. I think Givony had Prestes at 44 even before the Bucks traded for it, so I'm not sure if there's any real connection with the Bucks, but it might be a convenient pick if the Bucks want to keep a guy stashed in Europe for a year or two.
Ford: Sanders, Stephenson, Booker, Jordan
Chad Ford had been projecting Xavier Henry to fall to the Bucks for a few weeks, including the new mock he had this morning. That'd be perfectly fine with me--despite being just 19, Henry's got the shooting touch, NBA body, and defensive abilities to be a useful rotation piece immediately. But in the last hour his mock has moved a bit, with Henry going #13 to Toronto. That leaves Sanders, who Ford projects the Bucks would select despite Luke Babbitt, James Anderson, and Avery Bradley being on the board:
The Bucks have been eyeing Patterson, Henry and Hayward, but in this version, none of those players are on the board. So the Bucks go with a different need and get a long, athletic forward to help them with shot-blocking and rebounding. Sanders isn't the most polished player, but at 15, he's a good gamble.
Ford's other projections look pretty good to me. Assuming Lance Stephenson's background check passes muster, he's a boom-or-bust type...in other words, the kind of guy you love to grab with one of your second round picks. Booker is a tough but slightly undersized 4 who worked out for the Bucks early in the draft process, and his scouting reports reads like the exact type of guy Skiles would love. The same can't be said of Jordan, who has tons of size and talent but a questionable motor. But one of each makes for a diverse portfolio, doesn't it?
JS: Mock Roundup
I'm guessing most of these mocks aren't based on any type of inside information, but if you're into mocks for the sake of mocks...lots of Henry.
UPDATES:
Woelfel: "Avery Bradley is now in the middle of the Bucks' radar"
Gery Woelfel is fresh off scooping everyone on the Maggette deal, so we should probably be paying attention. I'm not a huge fan of Bradley's, mainly because he's smallish and most agree that he'll never be a PG. But he seems to be the consensus best perimeter defender in the draft and was considered by many to be the best high schooler in the nation in 2009, so the Bucks could at least be lining up a long-term backup and occasional running mate to Brandon Jennings in the backcourt. For what it's worth, Woelfel also reported a month ago that Bradley was not interested in working out for the Bucks.

With the 1st pick in the 2010 NBA draft
The Washington Wizards select…. Somebody not named John Wall, from Somewhere not named Kentucky University.
"We follow people who know a lot more about basketball than I do or pretend to..."
--David Stern
If they keep all four, here's how I hope it works out...
15. Udoh (if he’s there… probably not) I’ll take Sanders if he’s availible.
37. Willie Warren, love the pick
44. Mikhail Torrence
47. Jarvis Vernando
I don’t know if that will all work out, but that’s what I’m hoping

Interesting
but lets just trade all 4 picks we have for Favors :P
Bucks Pick Emotion Rater
Patterson/George: Moderately excited
Henry: Pleased
Babbitt/Sanders: Nervous optimism
Aldrich: “OK.”
Anderson/Hayward/Bradley: “Whatever, I’ll live.”
Orton/Stephenson: [mumbles incoherently]
I'd like to know what your going to be mumbling...

I was really drinking the Paul George kool-aid...
But now I’m just curious to see what they do with all of these 2nd rounders. In my own fantasy land I wish they’d be used to get Kevin Love or maybe Andre Igoudala, but in reality I’m just thinking there’s lots of flexibility to move up for a guy they want in the late first round, maybe Jordan Crawford or something.

I’ve seen him play twice in person and he can dominate the paint. I think he’ll be solid. The one major negative for him is that he’s an atrocious free throw shooter.

They are going to block some shots. They already do. Green, Durant and Westbrook are still the scorers. They are looking good.
Krstic I never liked. Aldrich could push for some major time in the rotation at center.

man people get amped up on draft night. I trust Hammond after what he’s pulled off so far. I think drafts are less about who the fans want the team to draft, and more about whether or not the guy pulling the trigger on the decision has a good track record and is clever.
We’ll be fine.

I think A johnson might be the best PG behin Wall in this draft….
I'm very sceptical about Orton
Heavy center with bad knees who’d rarely get touches during his college career and was a subpar rebounder.
I like Alabi from Florida better. Also prefer Alabi to Whiteside.
sweet lazar in the first round
FEAR THE DEER!!! but not til next year =(

Alabi
I don’t think the Bucks expected to see Whiteside or Alabi in the 2nd. I could live with either at 37.
Most definitely
Though I’d be more enthusiastic if we hadn’t just picked a fairly raw guy with a 50 foot wingspan…

So, who are the best players still on board?
Besides the European players? Alabi, Lawal, who else?
The Wolves add another wing who can’t dribble the ball – now they have four: Wes Johnson, Webster, Brewer, Hayward. Insane.
I like Alabi or Whiteside
I feel like we got to take a gamble on one of those two if they are around.
Hobson's a solid player
But maybe I’m just partial to MWC guys. Im just saying it wouldnt break my heart.

From my ESPN insider notes on Hobson:
Hobson is coming off a terrific season at New Mexico. His versatility has caught a number of NBA GMs eyes. He’s been a bit of a poor man’s Evan Turner this year. He’s played three positions on the floor, will get assists, rebounds and buckets and like Turner, isn’t an off-the-charts athlete or shooter.
36% shooter from beyond the arc. Not too shabby.

The problem about point forwards

I think if Warren is there, they'll pick him next
I’d like to see Gallon, but man the need now is at PG and Warren is no slack
ESPN Insider:
In Chad Ford’s pre-draft workout tour, he evaluated Jordan in Los Angeles: At the start of the 2008-09 season, we had Jordan ranked in the lottery. Jordan was coming off a terrific summer run at the LeBron James Skills Academy, and a number of NBA scouts thought they were looking at a potentially dominant big man.
However, Jordan never quite developed the way many teams thought he would. He got better, but he rarely dominated. By the midpoint of his senior season, it seemed like most NBA teams had lost interest.
I think they’ll be regaining it soon. I was really impressed with Jordan in his workout. He was light on his feet, showed a soft touch around the basket and looked absolutely huge.
Jordan has measured nearly 7-1 in shoes and has a big-time, 7-5 wingspan. Size-wise, he’s the real deal, which was evident watching Jarvis Varnado struggle to get his shot off against him.
Of all the players I saw Monday, he was the one I walked away convinced was too low on our Big Board. There is a dearth of centers in the draft, and Jordan has too much potential to slide out of the first round. Big guys rise as we get closer to draft night, and if Jordan continues to play like he did in Los Angeles, someone is going to take a chance on him in the 20s.

I really like the Sanders pick… only guy at that spot I wanted more was Anderson…
Hobson will be a player… 99.3 rebounds a game last season from the 3 spot is incredibly impressive…
Jerome Jordan was also a good pick… Going to be a good backup center…
Tiny Gallon = upside pick seeing as he is only 19
We will need to get a shooter this offseason though…

The bright side of picking Tiny Gallon:
7’4.5’’ wingspan…
Only 19 years old…
“One aspect that really stood out about Gallon’s game was his prowess as a rebounder. He averaged 13 rebounds per 40 minutes, pace adjusted, which was good for 15th in our entire database .”
- ranked recruit by ESPN coming out of high school
I'm cool w/ Jordan to the D league for a while...
Let him grow since he has a large learning curve – he’s only played organized ball for a few years.
He’s still a very good pick in the 2nd – he could/should turn into a B Haywood/Camby type dude. Nice pick
same w/ Hobson…
HATE the Gallon pick – but hopefully Hammonds proves me wrong – I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt : )
Still wish they would have picked Warren but whatever.

Yeah, maybe.. maybe warren is a punk...
There’s been reports that he has a poor attitude,,,,
I don't care about poor attitude
If he’s good he’s good. Jennings supposedly had a “bad attitude”

More DX analysis of Gallon....
If he pans out, he could be somewhat of a cross between a Kevin Love and a Glen Davis, although we’ll have to see how he continues to develop.
Still no Mikhail Torrence
3 picks left… Will he make it?

There's still hope for him

I'm not sure Warren is a NBA player
Wow, Pape Sy gets drafted. This is a big surprise. He only managed to get 1 workout, precisely from Atlanta, and that was enough to get drafted. Nicely done.
Warren would have been a lottery or atleast first round pick..
If he came out last year…. so teams obviously think he can play in the NBA
He was drafted #54
That’s where guys about whom teams are very unsure in regards to their ability to stay in the league are drafted.
Regardless...
Sanders – I’m cautiously optimistic – Dale Davis?… i hope
Hobson – could be a MAJOR steal – Brandon Roy type skills/potential
Jordan – great pick in the mid-second round – Haywood/Camby potential
Gallon – reserving judgement, for now….
Sounds like Jordan could be moved
Wouldn’t be shocking since he was the one guy they didn’t work out. Besides, we don’t need three enormous rookies…
Paul Imig said Hammond didn’t talk about him at the press conference, and the Bucks twitter feed sent a warm welcome to Tiny and Hobson but not Jordan :)

Wow Hammond picks someone and doesn't acknowledge his existence. Jordan must feel like crap now.
lol He’s the guy I would have picked to move anyway.

It would take me years to decipher the meaning of that statement.

Hm Nothing fancy
But they’re probably not getting anything worthwhile out of him anyway… Put it in the new arena fund!

I hope this isn't true
I’d love to stash him in the d-league for awhile and let him develop.

We've cracked the 1000 comments mark!
Has this ever happened before on this blog?

No
nice work people! I think we should probably move into another thread…

So Tiny Gallon, Hobson, and Sanders....
not a sexy draft but we got a guy who can contribute in the front court this season and two dudes with high upside… i’m good with that… i have a feeling a lot of trades and/or signings will go down to reshape the roster before the season starts…
According to NYC media he's been traded for cash to Knicks

He's also turning 24 in September
He kind of is what he is…which might be better than any of our other picks, but still.
by Frank Madden on Jun 24, 2010 11:04 PM CDT up reply actions
fair enough.....
I think for where the Bucks are they need a solid contributor behind Bogut and Jordan wasnt going to be that anytime soon
that sucks...
jordan seemed to be a good prospect for the future…
OK, new thread
