Now that we know the Bucks' actual draft position, who will they take at No. 2 in this June's NBA Draft?
The consensus is there are three top players: Duke's Jabari Parker and Kansas' Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins. But in which order will they go?
I've compiled a number of mock drafts which have emerged since Tuesday's draft lottery. And while the above mentioned are the consensus top-three picks, there is no consensus on where they will be picked.
Since the Bucks pick at No. 2, I've also listed who the mocks have going No. 1, to give a little reference (so you don't say, "They should have taken Wiggins!" when in fact Wiggins was slotted to go first overall, for example).
Here's the list. Feel free to make your pick and discuss the mocks in our comments below.
Sam Amico, FOXSports.com: Andrew Wiggins,SF/ SG, Kansas (No. 1: Jabari Parker, Duke). "Incredible athlete who made great strides late in the year. Considered the best wing defender available. Capable 20-point scorer at the NBA level."
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No. 1: Jabari Parker, Duke). "The feeling among a lot of front offices is that the back injury will turn out to be a temporary setback at the end of his college career, not a serious problem that will last into the pros. Teams picking at the top of the draft will obviously scour the medical reports to find out for themselves. Let the rise from unknown to the top three continue."
Will Joel Embiid end up wearing a Bucks hat at June's NBA Draft?
Chad Ford, ESPN.com: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No.1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "Some in the Bucks organization really liked Embiid before his back injury. But there are questions about whether they will actually be able to get him in for a physical before the draft. If they can, he is likely the No. 1 pick with Wiggins off the board. If they cannot, Parker or Dante Exum could move into this spot. Parker is the safe pick, but there are concerns that he plays the same position as Giannis Antetokounmpo. Exum could be their point guard of the future, as they would like to move Brandon Knight to the 2."
Chris Mannix, SI.com: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "If Wiggins is on the board, this becomes a tough decision. But the Bucks need another big man and an Embiid-Larry Sanders frontcourt has tremendous defensive promise. The question Milwaukee (and others) must answer: How bad is Embiid's back?"
Mark Spears, Yahoo Sports: Andrew Wiggins SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Jabari Parker). "Scout's take: 'He became more assertive, aggressive and confident as his freshman season went on. Has amazing athleticism and a huge upside.'"
Gary Parrish, CBSSports.com: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "Embiid might go a spot higher than this or several spots lower, depending on what doctors tell franchises about his back. He's a special and unique talent. But that back problem is an undeniable concern until doctors say it isn't."
NBADraft.net: Andrew Wiggins, SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Joel Embiid, Kansas). Second-round picks: 31. Markel Brown, SG, Oklahoma State; 36. KJ McDaniels, SF, Clemson; 48. James McAdoo, PF, North Carolina.
DraftExpress.com: Jabari Parker, SF, Duke (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas).
Jason McIntyre, The Big Lead: Jabari Parker, SF, Duke (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "Itâs a wing league, the Bucks already have rim protectors in Henson and Sanders, Embiid's back could be a question, his agent may not want his client on what is annually one of the worst teams . . . Parker starts from Day 1 and leads this team in scoring. In two years, when the Greek Freak is 21 and they add another lottery pick in 2015 . . . look out?
Zach Harper, CBSSports.com: Andrew Wiggins, SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Joel Embiid, Kansas). "The Bucks under new ownership will want to make a splash with the biggest star in the draft, and there isn't a bigger potential star than Andrew Wiggins. He'll give them options with lineup versatility, he'll be incredibly easy to market, and you're going to put fans in the stands right away to see what kind of star he'll be in the league."
Matt Moore, CBSSports.com: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "If the back is right, the Bucks could have a player that changes their entire franchise."
Hoops Hype: Andrew Wiggins, SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Joel Embiid, Kansas). "Wiggins is as physically talented as any wing player to come along since LeBron James. He still has only begun to scratch the surface in terms of skill development and realizing his abilities. After inconsistency through the first half of the season, Wiggins answered his critics with a strong finish. He really emerged in the season's final month putting up a 41 and 30 in back-to-back games, though he struggled with just 4 points in Kansas' season-ending tourney loss to Stanford. His defensive potential is far superior to Jabari Parker's, though he may struggle to score initially."
DraftTek: Andrew Wiggins, SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Jabari Parker, Duke). Second-round picks: 31. Rodney Hood, SF, Duke; 36. Adreian Payne, PF, Michigan State; 48. DeAndre Daniels, SF, Connecticut.
Sports Xchange: Andrew Wiggins, SF/SG, Kansas (No. 1: Joel Embiid, Kansas). "Bucks fans should be excited about the possibility of having Wiggins paired with the 'Greek Freak,' Giannis Antetokounmpo. Both young and athletic wings should give Milwaukee plenty to cheer about for years to come."
MyNBADraft.com: Jabari Parker, PF, Duke (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). Second-round picks: 31. Walter Tavares, C, Gran Canaria (Spain); 36. Glenn Robinson, SF, Michigan; 48. Joe Harris, SG, Virginia.
Ben Watanabe, NESN: Joel Embiid, C, Kansas (No. 1: Andrew Wiggins, Kansas). "No matter what the doctors say about the stress fracture in Embiid's back being fully healed, the damaged 20-year-old still scares the daylights out of us. Still, Embiid is ranked ahead of Jabari Parker by almost every evaluator, so we're inclined to defer to their expertise. If he stays healthy and continues to develop at his brisk rate -- two big 'ifs' -- Embiid is considered an MVP in the making."
