What happened: Tennessee forward Nate Ament was selected with the No. 13 pick Tuesday night, a selection that conveys to Milwaukee as part of the blockbuster sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. The Bucks also used their own first-round pick at No. 10 on Arizona guard Brayden Burries. The Antetokounmpo trade is not yet official.
Why it matters: Parting with a two-time MVP and franchise cornerstone reshapes Milwaukee overnight, but the return softens the blow. Alongside the draft capital, the Bucks reportedly land Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis, giving the post-Giannis roster both immediate contributors and young upside.
By the numbers: Burries, a 6-4 guard, averaged 16.1 points as a freshman while shooting 49.1% from the field and 39.1% from 3, adding 1.5 steals per game for a No. 1 seed Arizona team.
What to watch: Watch for the Antetokounmpo trade to be finalized, and for how Burries projects to pair with Herro in Milwaukee's reshaped backcourt.
