When you look back at previous NBA drafts, you can’t believe how many outstanding players were selected among the 60 picks in the two rounds.

Players are chosen primarily based on their college record, talent, and hype. When the Milwaukee Bucks drafted Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th overall pick in 2013, they made a great decision.

The Milwaukee Bucks might have drafted Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid with Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Other teams used their lesser picks to draft more generational talent in subsequent years. Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers’ third overall choice, was considered one of the top prospects in that year’s draft. Despite being plagued by ailments and having many doubts about his potential, he has proven his critics wrong.

This season, one of these three will emerge as the MVP. But did you know that if the Milwaukee Bucks had selected differently, Giannis, Jokic, and Embiid could have played on the same team?

Although it is horrible for roster construction, we would want to point out that the Bucks would not have chosen three big men in two rounds, but they did. However, the Bucks elected to make some poor selections in retrospect rather than constructing a team around a two-tower combo of Jokic and Embiid, with Antetokounmpo serving as the primary two-way forward.

In the 2014 draft, the Bucks selected Jabari Parker, a highly touted player, ahead of the Sixers. Given that Parker was also a big guy, the Bucks may have chosen Embiid over Jabari because Giannis was formerly a small forward.

The Bucks selected Johnny O’Bryant III, another center/forward, with their second-round pick, five spots ahead of Jokic.

It’s ludicrous to think of this Bucks lineup as a what-if. With three near-seven-footers who can cover everything the team needs, it would be a really interesting team, even if the players would not have advanced as much as they have with their current clubs.
