Eric Nehm: While he couldn’t specifically talk about the trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks general manager Jon Horst was asked about his vision for the team moving forward and how their two picks tonight fit into that vision. Horst: I think we’re always building. We’re always looking towards adding positional size. I think that the character component of these two young men we were able to draft matters a ton. I think we talked a lot at Taylor’s press conference about style of play and identity and who we want to be and the things we want to do. It takes processors, people that can think the game, that can attack space and create advantages that are going to play on both sides of the ball, that are big at their positions. That’s how you also take advantage of space. That’s the vision. I think this has been a great opportunity for us to have the opportunity in a lottery for the first time in over a decade, the first time in my career to make a lottery pick, much less two. And I think it’s a great draft to do it. And so time will tell with all these things and really, it’s on them. These guys are excited to come here and to work. I’m excited to introduce them to all of you, but it’s on them. Now they’ve got a great opportunity to work and grow and develop and build in Taylor’s system with the rest of our group and we’ll see what happens going forward.
