http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2115604-why-jabari-parker-is-exactly-the-kind-of-player-milwaukee-bucks-desperately-needWhen Andrew Wiggins was drafted at No. 1 by the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Milwaukee Bucks rejoiced.
Even though the Kansas product is an incredible talent well worth the top overall selection in the stacked 2014 NBA draft, the downtrodden Bucks knew that their premier target was still on the board for the next pickand they took Jabari Parker with joy.
"When the announcement came that Andrew Wiggins was the first pick by Cleveland, I looked around the room and looked at the faces, and I could see guys were really trying to hold their composure," explained former head coach Larry Drew to Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
"When it came to our pick, faces just changed because we knew we got the man we really wanted."
The Bucks had reason to be excited.
