Before the draft, the Bucks' first move was to announce the renewal of head coach George Karl's contract.
The championship not only made up for many people's regrets but also saved Karl's future in Milwaukee.
The Bucks offered Karl a 4-year, 30 million US Dollar contract extension, making him the highest-paid coach in the league.
Yu Fei wasn't idle and was constantly following the Bucks' draft efforts.
Based on Yu Fei's advice, the Bucks team tried out Zaza Pachulia. The result was neither surprising nor disappointing, he was exactly the player whose pros and cons were all stated in the scouting reports.
He was slow, had short arms, and lacked athleticism, but his sense of positioning and awareness in the paint were quite good, he had playmaking traits, and he could make a few shots. His mental toughness was also beyond reproach.
Compared to Pachulia, Karl preferred the Polish player Maciej Lampe.
