The NBA Draft is Wednesday night and the Bucks hold the 39th pick.
That might not seem like a reason to hold a vigil in front of the TV -- or at the team's training center party -- but there will be other action on the docket. The Bucks will unveil their much anticipated new color scheme. They'll ditch the purple. green and silver for a return to the more traditional red and green. General manager Larry Harris may also reveal his blueprint for the future by trading center Jamal Magloire. Harris needs to open up a spot for Andrew Bogut in the middle and Magloire is a marketable commodity.
Marquette fans hoping that former Golden Eagles star Steve Novak will be around when the Bucks make their choice could be disappointed. Or happy, depending on their point of view. Experts say the Brown Deer native could be gone by the time the 39th pick rolls around.
Stay tuned.
