AJ Johnson might be an NBA caliber player in five years if the stars align perfectly. What a great pick.
2 years away from being 2 years away
Yeah the problem is not really the quality of the players as prospects in a vacuum, it’s the fact that both guys are not going to remotely help on a win now team with a ticking clock
Maybe there’s nobody that would really be someone who could step in and be a contributor immediately that they could have picked and so they decided long term upside would provide the greatest value but then trading would have been something to consider too
I’m getting Thon Maker vibes
I wonder if the Bucks see the writing on the wall with the current window and are trying to get enough talent so Giannis sticks around at the very least
