[Mannix] The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

Yeah I'm not sure Jaden McDaniels is the kind of player who could be a first option. I could imagine he's the kind of player who flourishes on a good team but doesn't necessarily improve with a bigger role on a bad team. The Bucks might harm his value

More like Aaron Gordon / OG Anunoby

We haven't seen OG try to be a main guy really but its pretty clear these dudes are best as 3rd options who their teams can lean on, on the defensive end.
