The 2021 NBA Draft has been less than two weeks in the past, and next year's mock draft is already fresh. With just 59 draft picks next year, one less than this year, Milwaukee has lost their second-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft as the Bucks violated league rules regarding attempted trades made in November 2020.
