Pick was traded to the bucks and Andrew Lang was the pick

Kek thank you for responding but it says lang was drafted in 1988? Am I missing something here? I can't seemingly find out what happened to the pick we traded with Allen for marbury.

I didn't follow the fine details, but Milwaukee picked twice in 1988. The own pick at #9 was Dirk, and at #19 was Pat Garrity. My hunch is the Wolves traded someone elses 1st rounder -- maybe Cleveland?

Anyway, I wasn't interested enough to research it any more. Sorry...

I had honestly forgotten about that pick entirely.

It looks like the Wolves received that pick back from the Bucks when they traded Andrew Lang to the Bucks. The Wolves selected Rasho with that pick. The Wolves had received Lang When they dealt Laettner so that didn't work out too terribly...let's just say the Wolves really did not do well for a few tries using resources on centers.

Coach Lefevre taking about various guys.

I think in general the Wolves have a pretty good coaching staff. I kinda forget Pablo is on the staff sometimes. I would think he would be a pretty good guy for guards to learn from.

Everything seems to point towards Rocco being here on a 2-way THIS year.

I think that’s a certainty. And I could see Rocco getting some PT with the Wolves later in the season. His size alone makes him a potential plus for use in certain situations even at his young age. He and Beringer both seem really smart and determined. So I’m fairly certain they’ll both be quick learners and put in the work necessary to develop quickly.

A nice summary of our summer league pieces and story lines. A few good Amari Bailey highlights as well.

Thanks for posting Lip. That is a nice piece and it's great to read something that seems reasonably reaserched and thought out. There are so many "articles" that are pretty far from that so I wanted to give some props.
