With the 46th pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Sterling Brown, a sharpshooting guard out of SMU. How will he fit with the squad?

Although the Milwaukee Bucks were originally picking at #48 overall, they were able to trade up and snag the #46 overall pick from the Philadelphia 76ers. With the pick, the team used it on the SMU shooting guard Sterling Brown.

The pick of Brown marked the second selection of an SMU Mustang in the draft, the first being forward Semi Ojeleye. Brown is known as a standout shooter who is long enough to defend well in the NBA. For the Bucks, he should provide another shooter off the bench, which is something the team definitely needs.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is the superstar for the Bucks, and without a true three-point shot, it is important to add shooters around him, and the Bucks did just that with this pick. Brown will need to prove himself worthy of a rotation spot over the next couple of months, but for the time being, he has to focus on honing his game on both ends of the floor while building up the muscle needed to play at the next level.

Brown will hopefully give the Bucks some leeway in terms of needing to re-sign Tony Snell, who is lined up to receive a giant offer sheet this summer.
