The Milwaukee Bucks hold the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. It's the franchise's first time in the lottery since 2016, when they picked forward Thon Maker. 

The Bucks are in a unique situation entering this year's draft season. They are expected to move off star player and former Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and it seems like the team is ready to establish a full rebuild. 

Milwaukee has various options to pick at the 10th overall spot. Their roster has changed drastically in comparison to their 2021 championship roster, and it's time to move past that era and start over. 

There are three overlooked prospects that the Bucks could consider selecting at 10th overall. These players could be replacements for veterans they plan to move on from and can kick-start the rebuild. 

Karim Lopez is expected to be the first Mexican-born prospect to be drafted to the NBA in this year's draft. Lopez, 19, stands at 6'8" and weighs 222 pounds. He has a wingspan of 6'11". 

Lopez spent his last season before the NBA playing for the New Zealand Breakers of the NBL, averaging 11.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal, and a block per game. 

With his size and mobility, Lopez is a guy who can bring versatility on the wing for the Bucks. He shot 49 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point range. While the efficiency doesn't pop out on the stat sheet, his upside is what draws NBA teams to him. 

While Lopez had efficiency issues, he did have a game in which he scored 32 points against Melbourne United on 11 of 13 shooting. If he can put it all together offensively, he can be a crucial piece to the Bucks' young core in the coming years. 

Labaron Philon Jr. is a guard from Alabama who has the potential to be an elite scorer in the NBA. He stands at 6'4" and weighs 185 pounds. 

In Philon Jr.'s sophomore season with the Crimson Tide, he averaged 22 points per game, 5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds. He shot an efficient 50 percent from the field and 39 percent from three. 

On offense, Labaron Philon plays his position very well. He has a crafty play style, especially on the pick-and-roll, and he can score in isolation situations as well. On defense, Philon Jr. can bring a lot. He plays with intensity and good instincts, and his wingspan makes him tough to score on. 

The knock on Labaron Philon Jr. is his skinny frame. If he can put on muscle in the NBA and adjust to the physicality the league brings, he can become a great player on both sides of the ball. 

Yaxel Lendeborg is an older prospect who is looking to prove himself in the pros. Lendeborg stands at 6'9", 240 pounds, a big body ready to take on the NBA's level of physicality. 

In his senior season at Michigan, Lendeborg was one of the main factors that led the Wolverines to a national championship. Lendeborg averaged 15.1 points per game, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists on 50 percent shooting this past season. 

Lendeborg has good mobility for his frame and can fly around on defense. He plays with a high motor on both ends, similar to Giannis Antetokounmpo. While he is a bit of an older prospect, he can be a makeshift replacement for Antetokounmpo and could succeed in Milwaukee with the right coaching. 

The Bucks have many options to go with at the 10th overall pick, and their selection will all depend on how their play style changes with Giannis gone.
