Milwaukee Bucks: 5 realistic targets with the No. 31 pick – Miles McBride

Secondly, the Milwaukee Bucks could be keen on sophomore Miles “Deuce” McBride out of West Virginia. The 6’2″ point guard could be a sleeper in this draft and it seems that there’s a likelihood that the 20-year-old could fall to the Bucks based on recent mock drafts.

Last season for the Mountaineers, McBride averaged 15.9 points, 4.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game on 43.1 percent shooting from the floor and 41.4 percent from beyond the arc. He’s an intense competitor with a knack for scoring in quick bursts or setting up his teammates while defending with pride and relentlessness.

Despite being a smaller combo guard, McBride can score from all levels, has proved to be an efficient 3-point shooter, possess great vision and decisiveness as a playmaker, consistently affects opponents with his aggressiveness and quickness, and understands what it takes to win. He’d be a welcoming contributor to the Bucks as an explosive backup point guard that could also play the two-guard.

If Miles McBride is available for Milwaukee at the beginning of the second round, it would be no surprise to see the Bucks select him and add his tough-minded presence to this championship team.
