17. player. 89. . PG. UCLA. Aaron Holiday

The Bucks can add some long-term point guard depth with one of the biggest risers in the draft. Holiday, the younger bother of Jrue and Justin, was one of the most productive offensive players in college basketball last season.

Holiday’s elite three-point shooting would be a nice fit next to Giannis Antetokounmpo, allowing him to work off the ball when needed. He struggled to create against length in college, but is generally a smart pick-and-roll ball-handler who can get to the rim and finish with touch.

On the defensive end, being just 6-foot-1 limits Holiday in some capacity. His effort level and 6-foot-8 wingspan help him make up that ground, though. He should at least be able to competently defend the point of attack against opposing point guards.
