player. 89. . C. UCLA. Ike Anigbogu. 17

UCLA’s Ike Anigbogu is one of the wildcards in this draft. He could go much higher but he could also go much later. Adding another athletic freak to the Buck’s roster would make them a scary team to go up against. Still being without a GM, it’s tough to predict where the Bucks will go with this pick.

I believe Anigbogu has the potential to become a player in the mould of Los Angeles Clipper, DeAndre Jordan. The big man averaged 12.4 rebounds per 40 minutes and 3.7 block per 40 minutes. This would be a great addition to the Bucks as they don’t need scoring, they are in more need of defence.

With the failed signing of Greg Monroe from the Detroit Pistons, Anigbogu will serve as his replacement. The UCLA man could form a scary duo with Thon Maker, both could become elite rim protectors, whilst offering two contrasting offensive games. The Bucks could be really good very soon.
