(AP)- With Luke Ridnour, and Alexander Lamp opting to test the waters of free-agency, the Bucks find themselves in a position with no point-guard on their roster. Holding the 14th overall pick (thanks to a forefited pick by the Houston Rockets from the Philadelphia 76ers), the Bucks have a chance to grab a solid PG who can manage their athletic fast-paced starting lineup for many years to come.
The Bucks brought in Raymond Felton, Jarrett Jack, and Nate Robinson into Milwaukee for a big workout. All three players are very different, but have the ability to manage an offense effectively. While none showed that they can be a great starter this year, they all have the ability to get better to become one in the future.
Felton, who may not be available at 15, came out on top. Showed an amazing athletic ability, ABCA-ready handling/passing ability, with solid defense. "Little" Nate Robinson showed superb athleticism with the ability to take the ball to the hole. Jack showed the Bucks a solid defensive game to go along with his point-guard skills. While his scoring ability is the worst of the three, Jack showed that he can be a solid point-guard.
Bucks GM ilovebball said, "this is going to be a tough position. We need a PG, but we should be going with the best player available. These guys showed me some promise, but I'm not 100% sold on any of them. My team could even be looking to trade up for Deron Williams, Ben Gordon, or perhaps even, the great Chris Paul."
