The 2024–25 Milwaukee Bucks season will be the 57th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). They will look to bounce back from last season's dysfunctional, disappointing ending following their surprise first round exit to the Indiana Pacers.

Draft

Round Pick Player Position(s) Nationality College / club
1 23 AJ Johnson SG United States United States Illawarra Hawks Australia
2 33 Tyler Smith SF United States United States G League Ignite

The Bucks will enter this draft (which will last for two straight days instead of one whole day like it had been since the NBA draft was shortened down to just two rounds back in 1989) with a late first-round pick and an early second-round pick they had acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers via the Sacramento Kings.[1][2]
