MILWAUKEE -- With the trade of franchise superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat not yet official, Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst declined to talk specifics -- but repeatedly emphasized "a theme of building" after the team drafted guard Brayden Burries at No. 10 and forward Nate Ament at No. 13.
"We're building," Horst said at the Bucks' practice facility Tuesday night. "These guys are important to it.
"We're just really excited to continue to build and add on piece and piece and create an identity, a style of play, a roster full of character and versatility and size. Got a lot of work ahead of us, but it's a good start."
Milwaukee agreed to trade Antetokounmpo to Miami late Monday night for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks, which included the No. 13 selection on Tuesday, one pick swap and one second-round pick, sources told ESPN. The deal cannot become official until July 6.
