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.

The Bucks have already traded for SF/SG Corey Maggette and SG Chris Douglas-Roberts to help the team offensively. With that in mind I see the Bucks going for big guys in tomorrow night’s NBA Draft. The Bucks are armed with the 15th, 37th, 44th and 47th overall picks in the draft and they will likely be able to stock up on forwards and maybe snag a center to back up Andrew Bogut. The Bucks have certainly positioned themselves to improve for the 2010-11 season so far this off-season.

The Bucks have acquired 23-year old shooting guard Chris Douglas-Roberts from the Nets for a 2nd round pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. Douglas-Roberts played in 67 games (38 starts) for the Nets last season and he averaged 25.8 minutes, 9.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He has now played in 111 games (41 starts) in his two NBA seasons and he has averaged 20.8 minutes, 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. This was another solid move for the Bucks who got Douglas-Roberts while keeping all four of their draft picks for tomorrow’s NBA Draft.
