The Milwaukee Bucks have two picks in the 2024 NBA Draft, and North Carolina has several players eligible this year. Milwaukee holds the 23rd overall pick in the first round and the 33rd overall pick in the second round.
General Manager Jon Horst aims to rejuvenate the roster with younger talent. The Bucks need immediate contributors and might not re-sign some key free agents, opting instead to fill those spots through the draft.

Milwaukee might also explore trades during the offseason, focusing on building a championship team around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
**Bleacher Report Mock Draft Prediction**
In their latest mock draft, Bleacher Report predicts the Bucks will select Harrison Ingram from North Carolina with the 33rd overall pick. Jonathan Wasserman noted that Ingram impressed with his shotmaking and six assists in one game. Scouts appreciate his versatility, strength, and defensive capabilities, despite concerns about his explosiveness. Ingram, at 6’7″ and 235 lbs, averaged 12.2 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 2.2 APG, 0.4 BPG, and 1.4 SPG as a junior for the Tar Heels.
Ingram played a key role in North Carolina’s ACC Regular Season title win. However, the team lost to North Carolina State in the ACC Tournament final and was defeated by Alabama in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
