Milwaukee Bucks 2011 Mock Draft
I’ll have some more analysis and thoughts on what the Milwaukee Bucks might be looking for come Wednesday. Until then, here is my initial mock.
Given the few players available for the Bucks’ pick, I stand by this previous Bucks post (http://pocketdoppler.com/2011/06/15/milwaukee-bucks-draft-preview-2011/) but I do understand that they appear to be somewhat-sold on Burk’s talent.

Is it just my imagination, or is this a pretty uninspiring draft class?
Highlighted by Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger staying in school, the draft up and down is weaker than usual. Derrick Williams is by far the most talented, but while there is a ton of B+ talent, there is not much above that.
Why would they take another pg/sg? That sounds like a waste of a first round pick. Why not a 3 or 4 that can hit shots?
The only reason they would take Burks is because he is a good-sized shooting guard. He can handle the ball well and does a great job of slashing to the basket. Remember what Corey Maggette was supposed to do for the Bucks last year? That’s what Burks does.
