MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- With the first move in the post Giannis Antetokounmpo era of the Milwaukee Bucks, the franchise has its newest player.

With the 10th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Bucks selected guard Brayden Burries, out of Arizona.

Burries is an AP All-American honorable mention as a freshman. He helped the Wildcats make its first Final Four since 2001, averaging 16.1 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.5 steals.

He is a very good shooter, averaging 49% FG, 39% 3FG and an 80% FT shooter in his lone season in college.

The Milwaukee Bucks get to add two players in the 2026 NBA Draft following the Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr. trades.

They're also drafting forward Nate Ament, at 13th overall, from Tennessee.

Ament averaged nearly 17 points a game and six rebounds for the Volunteers as a freshman.

He was named to the All-Freshman team and All-SEC second team as well.

Officially, the Miami Heat make this selection until the trade becomes official in the new league year on July 6.
