The Milwaukee Bucks exhibited impressive determination throughout the 2024-25 NBA season. Ultimately, they concluded the regular season in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses, which secured their spot in the playoffs. However, they encountered significant hurdles in the first round against the Indiana Pacers, where they met an unfortunate end, finishing with a disappointing 1-4 record.
Following this early exit, the Bucks are actively seeking to improve their roster. Recent reports have indicated that the team is showing an unusual level of interest in a lottery prospect, despite not holding a first-round pick in this year’s draft.
“Milwaukee doesn’t have a pick in the first round, not even in the top 10. But they’re asking about my son and wanting to know a little bit more information. They’ve called, and I don’t understand why they have interest unless they plan on making a move,” The father of a potential lottery pick said (via Rafael Barlowe).
The father of a potential lottery pick says the Milwaukee Bucks have contacted his son and have been doing background research on him, despite not owning a first-round pick, per @Barlowe500
