Analysis:

Can you draft chemistry? Many chuckled when they saw Bogut giving himself high fives against Atlanta, but it indicated the Bucks' chemistry problems this past season. On more than numerous occasions, Yi would be open on the pick-and-pop and Williams and Redd would not look in his direction. Williams and Redd would often ignore teammates and chuck either early in the shot clock (Williams) or try to break his man down, then chuck (Redd). Bogut has also had his issues with the prolific backcourt. New coach Scott Skiles will need to deal with these issues, while new GM John Hammond will need to find a small forward in this Draft or through a trade.

From The Media:

"'After the lottery concluded, Hammond said: 'Going from 7 to 8 is somewhat disappointing but nothing you get overly concerned with. We liked the seventh slot going into the lottery but still feel very good about having the eighth pick.'

"On Monday, Hammond had said he would not rule out trading the pick. 'We have to be open to any or all discussions,' he said."
