S.I.'s new Top 50.

Luke Kennard's stock is rising. I question his defense and athleticism, but seems to be impressing with his shooting and play-making ability at 6'6":

Yes. Justin Jackson, TJ Leaf and Luke Kennard look like good choices at #17 right now. While center does not look like a position of need, Monroe may only have 1 year left and Henson may not be in the long-term plans. Justin Patton, Ike Anigbogu or Jonathan Jeanne might be options if the first 3 are off the board.
Jarrett Allen worked out yesterday for the Bucks. Draft Express currently has him at #17 going to the Bucks. I did not watch much of Texas this past season (they obviously did not do well), so I don't have much of an opinion on him.

Updated mock draft from Si.I.

Another hot off the press draft projection from another S.I. writer and he has Kennard going to the Bucks.

Wow. A lot of movement from what I have seen elsewhere. Lauri Markkanen #3, Donovan Mitchell #6, Justin Jackson #10 (my favorite). Obviously, every mock is just a projection. Working off SI, I would be happy with Luke Kennard, TJ Leaf or Justin Patton at #17. However, my top 2 is Justin Jackson and Luke Kennard. At this point, I would be surprised if either are available at #17.
I would not be surprised if this ownership group trades future draft picks for a marquee player. Not sure if that is good for the franchise, depends on the player. These owners want to win.
