Milwaukee added two lottery picks to a post-Giannis rebuild, with Brayden Burries averaging 16.1 points and Nate Ament bringing frontcourt upside.
- On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Arizona guard Brayden Burries with the 10th overall pick in the NBA Draft, one day after trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.

- Milwaukee faces challenges replacing a generational superstar, but scouts view Burries and Ament as promising young talent as the organization rebuilds following several disappointing playoff exits in recent seasons.
