The next team in this series of top 10 draft choices since 1990 that will be looked at is the Milwaukee Bucks.

In order to make this list, the player must have actually been drafted by the Bucks. Only the player's impact with Milwaukee is considered (someone like Rafer Alston played a much larger role in the NBA after he left the Bucks). Where the player was drafted could make a difference (if a second round pick had about as much impact as a lottery pick, then the second round pick will be higher).

The team's draft picks were found at Basketball Reference.

1

Giannis Antetokounmpo - First round, 15th overall (2013)

The likely MVP for the 2018-19 season, Antetokounmpo was named to both the All-NBA and All-Defensive First Teams this past season while posting incredible averages of 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 blocks.

2

Michael Redd - Second round, 43rd overall (2000)

An All-Star and All-NBA Third Team member in 2003-04, Redd averaged over 20 points a contest for six straight seasons from 2003-04 until 2008-09.

3

Glenn Robinson - First round, first overall (1994)

Playing eight seasons for the Bucks, Robinson averaged at least 20 points in all except one of his years with the team and made two All-Star teams.

The 2016-17 Rookie of the Year, Brogdon posted career-highs in his third year this past season with 15.6 points and 4.5 rebounds while also posting excellent shooting percentages (50.5 from the field, 42.6 from three-point range, and a league-leading 92.8 from the free throw line). According to Clutch Points, he is expected to command an offer sheet between $17-20 million this offseason as he will be a restricted free agent.
