Jon Horst took over as general manager of the Bucks a week before the 2017 draft. Since then he drafted D.J. Wilson, who rarely played, in the first round, resigned Tony Snell (four years, $46 million) and Jason Terry while letting Michael Beasley walk, and then he traded Greg Monroe and a pair of protected draft picks to the Suns for Eric Bledsoe.
