Bucks win No. 1 pick in draft lottery

After a season of injuries, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the odds and won the NBA lottery on Tuesday night, creating exciting possibilities for next month's draft.

The Bucks, who had only a 6.3 percent chance of winning the lottery, now have the options of dealing the No. 1 pick in the June 28 draft, using it to entice Michael Redd to re-sign or simply choosing a talented player like center Andrew Bogut, forward Marvin Williams or point guard Chris Paul.

IMHO, the rule of thumb is always draft the best player available rather than draft based on need. Otherwise, you may as well trade the draft pick. Excellent news for Milwaukee hoops fans.
