Wood staged a draft party at Caesars Palace on the Strip, but there was no reason to celebrate. Again, he might be a slightly safer pick than Vaughn because he seems better suited to a complementary role, but if both guys would have been asked to function as go-to scorers on a second unit, Vaughn may be the superior option. However, if a change of scenery is what Ersan needs to get his NBA career back on track and he rediscovers his ability to knock down threes, he should be a nice fit with John Wall, and Bradley Beal, and should help space the floor for Marcin Gortat, and the entire Wizards team. It started about a month or so ago. Wearing a short-sleeved blue-collared shirt and beige trousers, Vaughn raised his hands to the ceiling and soaked in the moment.

Even though some are not thrilled with what the Bucks accomplished on draft night, the addition of Vasquez should bring an additional offensive threat to the team next season.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound Vaughn worked out for the Bucks on Monday and was considered a high riser in the draft after excelling in the predraft process.
Mannix’s analysis: Vaughn has inched up draft boards in recent weeks. “He’s going to play for a Hall of Fame player (Jason Kidd) and a fantastic coach, and he’ll be a very important part of the Milwaukee Bucks for years to come”, Rice said. Milwaukee was eliminated by Chicago in the playoffs. He is 18 years old, going to take at least one year to develop, and many so-called experts are not too thrilled with Milwaukee’s decision to draft a developmental player. A key reason why you may have heard so small of Rashad Vaughn is because his lone collegiate season ended with a torn meniscus. In fact, Vaughn has thoroughly impressed in workouts and the Heat were said to be intrigued with him.
“It was just the Milwaukee Bucks factor and the need for shooting”, Hammond said. He’ll grow into that prototype NBA 2-guard body. First, we got a look at the new, adventurous Atlanta Hawks uniforms. Wood was not as fortunate.
On Thursday, Vaughn will likely hear his name called between picks 20 and 25. He can choose which team to sign with as a free agent and could play in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas in July. “It’s going to boost my draft stock”. “I have a chip on my shoulder”. He played all 82 games with Toronto last season, playing as a backup to point guard Kyle Lowry, and averaged 9.5 points and 3.7 assists.
He had better be a good player because, right or wrong, Vaughn will be compared to Dekker from now on.

If the Bucks can land in the top 10 with a package of Carter-Williams, Henson or draft picks it could be worth doing. There were several trades Thursday, but the Timberwolves didn’t deal Bennett.
