Cy I'm thankful for the time u put into this and it's great for jazzfanz, but I think we need more choices for each pick for a more accurate mock.
 
But sometimes we don't think of some players we might pick if we don't see them there. Plus most that do pick other are too lazy to post who they want when picking other. Just not as affective as having a more broad selection.

I think they need a legit PF who weighs over 240. I went with Portis because he is a big more of an enforcer, but they could go Lyles.

I could see them going Delon Wright though. They need depth at the 2-guard with OJ Mayo their only signed player at the position and Middleton a FA. Wright is a senior and could play right away. He has a similar game to Mayo, but could also be effective as a back-up PG to MCW.
 
Would the Bucks give us the Clippers 2017 Pick to move up to 12? We only have 6 picks that year! Better make it 7 to be safe.
 
I went with Lyles (because I think he's more versatile) but I can see Portis as being a good fit. Would be interesting to see how they divide the forward minutes between Henson, Parker, Portis and Antetokounmpo. If they bring back Middleton, I think he has to start based on his salary.

Portis fits the defensive mindset that Kidd has, so that is why I went him over Lyles.

They are a possibility if Turner is available. I'd ask for their 2016 pick with no protections or top 3 protections though. I would do it... The 12-20 ish guys are all so close in talent... Not sure if the draft is unusually deep to that range or if it sucks. 1 or 2 of those guys should be really good just not sure which ones.
 
Bucks are in a political battle trying to get $500 million for a new arena. They must have the new arena to keep the team. Gov Scott Walker (R) announced a plan earlier this week for Wisconsin to use state money to fund 1/2 the arena, the previous and new owners would put up the other half. Spending other people's money is easy for politicians the real task is getting the people to feel good about it, atleast 51% of the voting people.

The bucks have new owners, and the new owners inherited a problem....there are more Chicago Bulls fans in Milwaukee than there are Bucks fans. Michael Jordan, Derrick Rose, 6 championships, red and Black uniforms compared to ugly green uniforms and 10 playoff trips in the last 25 years but only advancing past the 1st round once.

Now enter the draft where Local heroes Frank Kaminsky and Sam Decker are both expected to be drafted in the 8 to 14 range. The two former Wisconsin Badgers led their team to back o back final fours. Both are local guys, Decker is from Wisconsin, Kaminsky from Illinois. The Bucks have despretley tried in vain to get either guy in for a workout. A local hero would help market the team and help generate good will and excitement to seal the arena deal.

I think they prefer Frank, who would fill a need. They are loaded at the 3-4 spot with Middleton, Greek, Jabari, and others. I think it is no coincidence that there were suddenly rumors last week about Detroit wanting to take Kaminsky #8. Detroit is leaking rumours to see how much the bucks are willing to give to get their guy.

On draft night I fully expect the Bucks to end up with one or both of the two former badgers, but it won't be at 17.

The 17th pick is RJ Hunter.
 
I'm sure they like Dekker, but for all the reasons you mentioned. . . I expect them to go very hard after Kaminsky. I've been against trading down (mainly because I'm hoping the Jazz trade up) but if the top upside prospects are all gone by 12, I'd probably just pick Frank and either keep him or sell high to the Bucks.

Either way, the Jazz make out just fine.

So I guess everyone stopped caring about this after the Jazz picked?

Kind of.
Plus it's getting to the point where I don't know who the hell any of these guys even are
