John Hammond recently said that the team is targeting a group of 10 or so players at number 17 in the upcoming draft on June 25. Coincidentally, the first 10 (reputable-seeming) mock drafts that I came across featured 10 different players going to Milwaukee.
Out of the 15 mock drafts below, only three players are listed more than once: Kelly Oubre (three times), Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (twice), and Sam Dekker (twice). These eight appear once each: Trey Lyles, Devin Booker, Frank Kaminsky, Cameron Payne, Kevon Looney, Montrezl Harrell, R.J. Hunter, Bobby Portis.
The fact that no one really has any idea is, in some order, frustrating and really the whole point (and the fun) of this.
