Interesting tidbit from the Athletic on the Chris Livingston pick (#58):

With their original pick, the Bucks selected Chris Livingston, a one-and-done player from the University of Kentucky. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Livingston’s agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, called teams around the league and requested that they don’t draft Livingston because he had a place set up where he wanted to go and that spot ended up being Milwaukee.

Livingston, 19, averaged just 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per game as a freshman at Kentucky, but he started 26 games for coach John Calipari and seemed to grow more comfortable in his role as the season progressed.

“Chris has the pedigree — this is a McDonald’s All-American, went to a top-level program, has been one of the best players in his class for a lot of years,” Horst said. “Really competitive kid, young man. Really mature body for his age and is a really hard worker. So I think when you put those things together, he’s got a great game. He attacks the rim, can put the ball on the floor. A big part of the season at Kentucky he was a plus shooter from the perimeter and later in the season kind of slipped a little bit. There’s just a lot to work with there.

At 6 foot 6 with a 6-foot-11 wingspan, Livingston has a solid frame like Jackson but weighs almost 20 pounds more. While Jackson’s explosiveness stands out, Livingston’s potential has more to do with his strength.

At the end of the night, the Bucks came away with two wings with size, which appeared to be their goal.
