Milwaukee Bucks win the No. 10 pick in the NBA draft lottery
CHICAGO - The Milwaukee Bucks know when their selection is during the first round of the NBA draft on June 23.
After finishing a disappointing season 32-50, the Bucks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2015-16. The 2016 draft was the last time Milwaukee was part of the draft lottery, when the team selected Thon Maker at No. 10.
This year's draft lottery marks the first significant date in a crucial stretch for the Bucks. The future of superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo hangs in the balance after years of speculation about what the two-time NBA MVP wants to do.
See every story in Sports â including breaking news and analysis.
With the 10th pick in hand, the team's options become a little clearer. If the Bucks think they can get a future centerpiece player in a loaded draft class, they can keep the selection. Or they can package the pick in a trade for roster reinforcements.
The Bucks are officially on the clock.
