The Milwaukee Bucks just finished 32-50 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Taylor Jenkins is this team's new head coach, and Giannis Antetokounmpo's future is still unresolved. The front office is heading into one of the most important offseasons in franchise history with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

The Bucks enter the May 10 lottery in the 10th slot, and due to a pick swap tied to the 2020 Jrue Holiday trade, Atlanta gets whichever of Milwaukee's or New Orleans' picks lands higher. 

In other words, Milwaukee has essentially zero chance at the first overall pick, and their realistic odds of jumping into the top four sit around 3.7 percent. Barring a miracle, they're picking around 10th. Here are three prospects who make sense right in that range.

The Bucks need a real point guard, and Acuff is one of the most exciting ones in this class. He averaged 23.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists this season while shooting 44 percent from three and limiting turnovers despite carrying a nearly 30 percent usage rate.

He controls tempo naturally, makes advanced reads out of pick and roll situations, and has the scoring ability to create his own shot at every level. Mock drafts currently have him in the mid-lottery range, which puts him squarely in Milwaukee's wheelhouse.

For a team that desperately needs a lead guard to build around, Acuff is exactly the kind of prospect worth getting excited about.

If you want a shooter who can also make plays, Wagler is the name to know at this range. The 6-foot-6 guard shot 41 percent from three, earned Big Ten Freshman of the Year honors, and averaged 18.5 points and 4.9 rebounds with elite decision-making and shooting range.

He's not the most explosive athlete in the class but his feel for the game is advanced and his shot translates immediately. The blueprint for him becoming a long-term NBA backcourt fixture is already there.

For a Bucks team that needs floor spacing and playmaking at a reasonable cost, he's a natural fit wherever he's available around that 10th pick.

With the frontcourt still a question mark and Myles Turner not getting any younger, Milwaukee should keep an eye on Mara as a developmental center option. The 6-foot-11 big has vaulted himself into first-round territory with improved shooting splits and flashes of real scoring ability around the basket.

He's raw and probably not an immediate contributor, but he's exactly the kind of long-term investment a team in Milwaukee's position needs to start making. You can't keep patching the frontcourt together. At some point you have to develop someone from the ground up, and Mara has the tools to be that guy.

This draft won't fix everything Milwaukee has to figure out this summer. But picking smart at 10 could be the first meaningful step toward whatever comes next for this franchise.
