The Bucks, with the 12th overall pick, are expected to take a center, simply because they don’t have one.

Milwaukee has been using power forwards — primarily Drew Gooden and Larry Sanders — at center after trading Andrew Bogut to Golden State in March,

“I think right now there is the assumption we’re kind of looking into basically a narrow mind-set, that we have to go big,” Hammond said. “There’s a need there, so obviously that is going to be a discussion and it’s going to be somewhat of a priority for us.

“The most important thing is your drafting talent. So, when we look at 12, it’s going to be who is the best player on the board and we’re not just going to say we have to go to a certain position.”
