Milwaukee Bucks - John Henson PF North Carolina, Doron Lamb SG Kentucky
At 14 and 42, the Bucks took advantage of the depth of this draft.
Neither Henson nor translate to All Stars in the mind of Mat, but both have a fine chance of being perennial starters in the league.
John Henson seems like a somewhat low risk pick. He comes from a good school, where he had success, and put up pretty solid numbers. He's a little on the light side weighing only 215 on a near 7 foot frame. But that shouldn't be a problem once some NBA strength coaches get their hands on him.
Mat sees Henson as the kind of player every team needs. Good rebounder, nice defender, and not going to make a ton of mistakes. Safe pick, but a solid one.
Lamb does one thing. Shoots the ball. When Doron Lamb is open, you can put three points on the board. He lacks some explosiveness and is not an impressive defender. But he fits in perfectly with Brandon Jennings.
Jennings will do all the leg work, and Lamb can sit back and spot up for wide open treys.
Like Henson at 14, Lamb is a relatively safe pick at 42. You know what your getting, and it's likely the strengths he showed in college will translate into the pros.
Grade - B
