Don’t look for the Bucks to be chasing any big time free agents. They have brought in Corey Maggette, Chris Douglas-Roberts and rookie forwards Larry Sanders, Darington Hobson and Tiny Gallon already this off-season. I think the Bucks will be going for cheaper players in free agency with nice upsides. Guys like Tony Allen, Josh Howard, Flip Murray, Hakim Warrick, Drew Gooden, Matt Bonner, Craig Smith and Alex Barron likely would appeal to the Bucks. The Bucks already have a solid rotation so they will likely just try to fill in some cracks this summer.

The Bucks have selected 19-year old power forward Tiny Gallon with the 47th overall pick of the NBA Draft. Gallon played in 30 games (21 starts) at Oklahoma last season and he averaged 10.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The only negative about Gallon is that he will have to watch his weight as he is 6′9″, 290 pounds but he does have a nice upside and the Bucks had a need a power forward so I like this pick for them.

The Bucks have selected 23-year old center Jerome Jordan with the 44th overall pick of the NBA Draft. Jordan is 7′0″, 253 pounds so he’s a legit pivot man. Jordan played in 35 games (all starts) at Tulsa last season and he averaged 15.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.3 blocked shots per game. He played in 133 games (119 starts) in college and he averaged 11.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 2.5 blocked shots per game. The Bucks continued to add muscle and size with the pick of Jordan.

UPDATE: (6/25/2010) - The Bucks will trade Jerome Jordan to the Knicks on July 8th. It is not known right now what they will get back for him.

The Bucks have selected SG/SF Darington Hobson with the 37th overall pick of the NBA Draft. Hobson played in 35 games (all starts) at New Mexico last season and he averaged 15.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He played in 90 games (all starts) in college and he averaged 16.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Bucks like Hobson because he’s a good rebounder which will likely get him some P.T. as a rookie in 2010-11.

The Milwaukee Bucks have picked 21-year old power forward Larry Sanders with the 15th overall pick of the NBA Draft. Sanders played in 35 games (32 starts) at VCU last season and he averaged 14.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 2.6 blocked shots per game. In his three years at VCU, Sanders played in 101 games (82 starts) in which he averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 2.7 blocked shots per game. Sanders gives the Bucks more muscle inside and a good helper for Andrew Bogut.
