Bucks eyeing in-state players
It's been more than a decade since the Milwaukee Bucks drafted a player from the University of Wisconsin. It's been even longer since they selected a player from Marquette University. But there's a chance one of those droughts could end on June 25, the date of this year's NBA draft. That's because the Bucks have more than a passing interest in two Marquette players -- Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews -- and one Wisconsin player -- Marcus Landry. All three of the aforementioned players are considered by NBA scouts to be legitimate second-round picks. And all of them will audition for Bucks officials later this month at the Cousins Center, the team's training facility in St. Francis.

Aren't they violating some rules by targeting players from specific schools in a specific region?

No difference than the Wizards or the Kings talking about drafting Blake if they get the first pick.

That's bull crap - on that note there should be an NBA team in every city and every team can only sign and draft players from their state... bye bye Yao, Dirk, Nash, Ginobli, Parker, Peja, Nene... the list goes on... matter of fact its not a bad idea - NY will have the best team..i'm down for it :)

I think that the bucks goal should be to trade Andrew Bogut to Utah for Carlos Boozer and FEZ and then trade rj to new orleans for tyson chandler a mo peterson

I thought they would be more worrited about keeping Villanueva than who they are going to draft in the second round.

They have done this for years. They tried out Mike Kelly way back when. They had Mike Wilkinson in for a tryout. It's good PR, and they don't have to pay for the travel expenses.
